FuseAI (YC W25)
FuseAI (operating as Fuse, tryfuse.ai) is a San Francisco-based, Y Combinator W25 startup building an AI-native sales platform for outbound revenue teams. It consolidates the fragmented GTM stack - contact data, waterfall enrichment, email and LinkedIn automation, deliverability infrastructure, a parallel dialer, and real-time buying signals - into one system where AI agents execute sales workflows from natural-language prompts. Founded in 2024 by CEO Saurav Bubber (former Deel GTM operator) and CTO Imogen Low (ex-SAP, co-founder of NWO.ai), Fuse aims to let one rep do the work of five.
Leadbay
Leadbay is a Y Combinator (F25) B2B sales startup building a domain-specific AI model that discovers and qualifies small-to-mid-sized business leads that traditional platforms like LinkedIn, ZoomInfo, Apollo, and Clay can't find. Trained on market data, a company's own CRM/ERP history, and reps' instincts, Leadbay learns a team's Ideal Customer Profile and predicts who will buy next - delivering qualified leads directly inside agentic workflows and AI apps like Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot. Customers in data-scarce industries such as construction, hospitality, manufacturing, and B2B services report roughly 3-5x more qualified prospects. The company raised a $4.3M seed round led by Y Combinator in May 2026 and is based in San Francisco.

Oliv AI
Oliv AI is a San Francisco software company building a team of AI agents for revenue organizations. Instead of asking sales reps to log calls, update the CRM, and prep for meetings, Oliv's agents capture deal intelligence automatically from every meeting, call, and email, then keep Salesforce and HubSpot accurate, score deals against methodologies like MEDDICC and BANT, forecast pipeline, and coach reps. The pitch is blunt: grow revenue without growing headcount by letting agents own responsibilities end-to-end, not just complete one-off tasks.
