Salesloft
How an Atlanta software company turned the daily grind of sales outreach into a category - and bet its next chapter on AI that tells sellers what to do next.
Commsor
It started as software for online communities and became the company that told sales teams to stop cold-calling and start asking friends. The dinosaur was optional; the warm intro was the point.
Coldreach
Coldreach is a Y Combinator-backed (W23) AI sales development platform that helps B2B teams find companies that are ready to buy right now. Instead of blasting cold emails to random lists, teams describe what a buying signal looks like for their product in plain language, and Coldreach monitors 113M+ companies across job postings, news, LinkedIn activity, SEC filings, hiring changes and more, 24/7. When a match fires, the AI researches the account and writes personalized outreach that references the specific event - which the company says produces meaningfully higher reply and booking rates than spray-and-pray outbound.
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.
Mercura
Mercura is a Munich-based YC W25 startup building AI software that turns messy sales requests - emails, tender specs, phone calls - into structured, spec-compliant quotes and orders for industrial distributors and manufacturers. It reads unstructured inquiries, matches them to catalog products, prioritizes margin, and pushes the result straight into a customer's ERP.
Sailes
Sailes is a New York and Kansas City based AI company that builds autonomous, personality-driven "Sailebots" to automate the entire B2B sales prospecting lifecycle - from finding contacts and researching accounts to writing outreach and booking meetings.

Founded in 2014 in Addison, Texas by CEO Trey Gibson, it combines territory mapping, route optimization, GPS activity tracking, lead and pipeline management, multi-channel outreach, and performance analytics in one system, plus a DASH AI co-pilot and native syncs with Salesforce, HubSpot and thousands of apps. It gives managers real-time visibility into rep activity while automating the manual logging reps hate, and is used by thousands of B2B and B2C sales teams across solar, home improvement, telecom, security and more.
CloudTask
CloudTask is a Miami Beach-based go-to-market marketplace and managed-services provider that helps B2B and SaaS companies hire vetted remote sales, customer success, and support talent - plus agencies and software - in as little as 48 hours. Founded in 2014 by Amir Reiter, the bootstrapped company sources pre-vetted, primarily Latin American SaaS professionals with video profiles and transparent pricing, and has expanded into a broader RevOps ecosystem covering SDR/BDR staffing, lead generation, conversational marketing, and the emerging category of GTM engineers.

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.

Spun out of the Allen Institute for AI (AI2) and co-founded by Napster co-founder Jordan Ritter, the company started in 2022 as an AI personal assistant aimed at enabling the four-day workweek and later refocused on agentic tooling for enterprise sales and deal execution.

Kular
Kular is a London-based, Y Combinator-backed AI lead generation platform that finds and books qualified customers for businesses over email, LinkedIn, and AI voice - and only charges when it works.

The platform serves over 1,000 companies and is built by a team of MIT, Cambridge, and Oxford graduates.
Valley

It ingests your product, clones your voice, researches each prospect, and sends hyper-personalized LinkedIn outreach - identifying website visitors, enriching contacts, scoring intent, and booking sales meetings while human reps do other work. Founded by Zayd Ali, who exited a prior sales company at 18, Valley pitches itself as 'revenue in a box' for modern B2B teams, at roughly $395/month per seat versus a five-figure human SDR.
