Co-Founder of Ashby here, just want to correct the record, that we were not targeting a mid-market ERP. We really wanted to build better hiring software. While our first customer was on our analytics-only product, it was built on a platform intended to be an ATS. We did build some abstractions/building blocks that are not hiring-software-specific (e.g., a workflow engine) because we recognized they allowed us to build rich features faster.

Apologies. When I met you in circa spring 2019 you described Ashby to me as mid-market ERP, which I had quite a few thoughts on given the amount of ERP work I had done. Sorry for droning on about ERPs to you, then.
I may have been describing a competitor, Google Hire. It was rumoured to have been built with tech from Diane Greene's Bebop startup which was an ERP and generalized application builder.
