Apten
Apten is a Y Combinator (S24) startup building omni-channel AI agents that engage and nurture leads across SMS, voice, email, and webchat. Aimed at B2C enterprises in home services, insurance, education, healthcare, and financial services, its agents hold one continuous memory across every channel, follow up at the right moment, transfer live calls to humans, and plug into CRMs like Salesforce and HubSpot. The company says its conversational approach converts previously dead leads into sales opportunities at a much higher rate than robocalls or static drip campaigns.
Endgame

It connects a company's CRM, emails, and call recordings with external sources like news, 10-Ks, and LinkedIn to do account research, meeting prep, deal inspection, and QBRs roughly 100x faster - aiming to turn every seller into a trusted advisor rather than a source of automated spam. Founded in 2021 by Alex Bilmes, the company first helped define the 'product-led sales' category before pivoting to an AI-native platform, and has raised about $47.5M from EQT Ventures, Menlo Ventures, Upfront Ventures, and Unusual Ventures.

It raised a $24M Series B in May 2025 led by Bessemer Venture Partners, bringing total funding to roughly $37M, and counts Activision, Qualified and SafetyCulture among its customers.
