Aomni, an innovative AI platform designed to assist sales teams in conducting thorough research on potential customers, has successfully raised $4 million in seed funding. This funding round was led by Decibel, with contributions from Sancus Ventures and Ride Home Fund.
Aomni stands out in a crowded market of AI tools that often aim to automate and replace sales roles by focusing on a human-centric approach. Founded by David Zhang, who has an inspiring journey from a small village in China to launching satellites, Aomni uses AI agents to revolutionize how enterprise sales teams engage with prospects.
Zhang noted that typical sales representatives spend only 30-40% of their time in front of customers, with the remaining time consumed by tedious tasks like filling out CRM systems and lead prospecting. Aomni aims to eliminate these repetitive tasks. The platform’s AI dashboard provides real-time insights, allowing sales teams to identify key opportunities and decision-makers by actively researching online rather than relying on static databases.
Early adopters of Aomni include major tech companies like Nvidia and AMD, which have leveraged the platform to enhance their sales strategies in the competitive AI chip market. Aomni has reportedly improved close rates by up to 40% by facilitating more informed customer interactions.
Investors are excited about Aomni’s vision of AI that supports rather than replaces sales teams. Decibel partner Jessica Leao emphasized the importance of maintaining a human touch in sales, highlighting Aomni’s unique blend of technical expertise and a commitment to enhancing human capabilities. Looking ahead, Zhang plans to add features that allow voice and image interactions, reinforcing the belief that successful sales will always center on relationship-building and problem-solving.
