Customer-facing sales intelligence platform Aircover has announced a seed funding round.
The company offers tools and conversational AI for use in real-time during virtual meetings, with its software integrating with video conferencing solution Zoom to automate sales intelligence. Aircover said a dedicated app for Zoom Meetings would soon be available from the Zoom App Marketplace.
The company’s latest $3mn seed round was led by Defy Partners, alongside participation from Firebolt Ventures, Flex Capital, and Ridge Ventures.
“With the Future of Work accelerating digital interactions between buyers and sellers, it’s the right time to build real-time tools directly into the meeting experience to enable teams to have more effective customer conversations,” said Andrew Levy, Aircover’s CEO and Co-Founder.
The company said it would use the funds to accelerate product development and build its ecosystem.
“One of the goals of launching the Zoom SDK was to provide developers with the tools they need to create valuable and engaging experiences for our mutual customers and integrations ecosystem. Aircover’s focus on building sales intelligence directly into the meeting, to guide customer-facing teams through the entire sales cycle, is the type of innovation we had envisioned when we set out to create a broader platform,” said Brendan Ittelson, CTO, at Zoom.
A number of angel investors from the video conferencing, enterprise software, and machine learning spaces also took part, with Bob Rosin of Defy Partners joining Aircover’s board of directors.
“The way that buyers and sellers interact has fundamentally changed. Video and online meetings are now the norm and there is a desperate need for a new generation of tools to drive more meaningful conversations and to help sales teams be more productive in this new environment,” said Bob Rosin, Partner at Defy.vc. “Andrew, Alex, and David are a proven world-class team and the early customer feedback has been stellar. We are thrilled to support them as they redefine selling in this new video-enabled era.”
