Actively AI Innovates with Sales Superintelligence - Actively AI has raised $22.5M, with a $17.5M Series A from Bain Capital Ventures, to innovate AI sales tools. Co-founders Anshul Gupta and Mihir Garimella, experts from Stanford, argue that traditional AI sales reps focusing on volume have been ineffective. Actively uses reasoning models to identify high-value prospects, imitating human sales skills.
Their GTM Superintelligence combines in-house and leading reasoning models, reporting successes such as increased client revenue. This funding highlights growing interest in reasoning technology, although its long-term sales efficacy is still uncertain.
