Scoot
Scoot is a Dallas-based B2B software company that runs an AI sales platform built on top of a customizable virtual meeting environment. Founded in 2017 as Preciate and rebranded to Scoot in 2023, the company puts real-time AI agents inside sales meetings, webinars, and events to coach reps, engage buyers, qualify leads, and automate CRM follow-up. Led by founder and CEO Ed Stevens, Scoot pitches itself as a more engaging, brand-able alternative to static tools like Zoom and Microsoft Teams for go-to-market teams.
