Across AI
Across AI is a San Francisco startup building an AI 'operator' for high-stakes enterprise workflows, starting with B2B sales. Founded in 2024 by serial entrepreneur Steven Mih with UC Berkeley researcher Niloufar Salehi and Stanford-trained algorithms specialist Afshin Nikzad, the company pairs next-generation agentic memory with patent-pending multi-layered reasoning graphs so that sales teams get a strategist embedded in every deal - one that remembers every interaction, product nuance, and objection, and acts on it with full lineage tracking.

Niloufar (Nilou) Salehi is a computer scientist and entrepreneur who co-founded Across AI, a San Francisco startup building 'agentic memory' systems for enterprise sales teams. An associate professor at UC Berkeley's School of Information known for human-centered AI and social computing research, she put her professorship on pause to serve as Across AI's Chief Product Officer. Across came out of stealth in December 2024 with a $5.7M seed round co-led by Cota Capital and Village Global. Her academic work spans crowd-worker organizing (Dynamo), reliable machine translation for high-stakes settings, and equity in algorithmic systems.
