ZoomInfo alum raises $15M for startup that builds AI sales engineers | TechCrunch

Jul 31, 2024 - news.bensbites.com
Arjun Pillai, former chief data officer at ZoomInfo, has launched his third startup, DocketAI, a virtual sales engineer. The company, which raised a $15 million Series A led by Mayfield and Foundation Capital, uses generative AI to help non-technical salespeople obtain quick answers to technical questions and assist with drafting technical documents. The AI does not replace sales engineers but frees up their time for more complex and strategic enterprise deals.

DocketAI's AI integrates, ingests, and indexes data from over 100 applications used by its software clients. It acts as a search engine for structured and unstructured workplace data and learns from the actions of top salespeople. Pillai claims that sales organizations using Docket increase productivity and win rates. The company has been actively selling its product since earlier this year and is adding several new enterprise-level paying customers a month, including ZoomInfo and Demandbase.

Key takeaways:

  • Arjun Pillai, former chief data officer at ZoomInfo, launched DocketAI, a virtual sales engineer, in August 2023 after noticing inefficiencies in the role of sales engineers.
  • DocketAI raised a $15 million Series A funding round led by Mayfield and Foundation Capital.
  • The AI-powered platform helps non-technical salespeople answer technical questions and draft technical documents, freeing up sales engineers to work on more complex deals.
