Clientell’s key differentiator lies in its deployment agility and intuitive user experience. This is crucial as sales teams often do not fully utilize many tools available to them. Furthermore, its conversational interface allows seamless integration across various platforms such as Google Sheets, email, LinkedIn, Slack, and Teams. This integration ensures users can work within their current workflows without the need to learn a new tool.
With its AI copilot, Clientell has enabled its users, primarily Chief Revenue Officers and Go-to-market leaders, to boost GTM execution and optimize pipeline governance and forecasting. Currently, the RevOps startup is working with initial design partners and early adopters spanning growth-stage SaaS companies and large pharmaceutical companies.
Previously, Clientell had raised $600,000 from Chiratae Ventures’ sonic cohort at the end of 2021, co-led by Artha Venture fund. Since their last round, the team has focused on building the core AI platform and core AI capabilities around combining generative AI with traditional machine learning to provide highly accurate insights to decision-makers in a conversational medium.
