BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP FOR AI SALES AGENT FROM SAN FRANCISCO

Very excited to announce the new collab between AI Sales Agent Aomni from SF 🇺🇸 and Vondel Venture Development in Amsterdam 🇳🇱 🇪🇺 . Read more below ⤵️ .

Aomni is an AI platform that helps sales teams conduct deep research on potential customers. Enabling B2B businesses to better understand their customers. We give AEs, AMs, and CSMs customer intelligence super powers.

Recently raised $4M from Decibel Partners, Sancus Ventures and Ride Home Fund. And is currently working with strategic sales teams of large companies such as NVIDIA, AMD and Oracle.

Quoting founder and CEO David Zhang: “If you look at a typical sales rep, they only spend 30-40% of their time in front of customers. The other 60-70% is spent on tedious knowledge work — filling out CRM systems, lead prospecting, and account research. Our goal is to make all that tedious work disappear.”

Next to David (ex-Social+), I'll be working alongside Josh Gillespie (SF, ex-PandaDoc) and Sawyer Middeleer (NYC, ex-Revel and Thrasio). Thank you for the trust! Ready to help you guys out here in Europe (and beyond). Thanks for the intro Ivana Istochka, so cool to see where meeting at Web Summit Rio some time ago can lead to!

📢 TO OUR (EUROPEAN) NETWORK: Are you in Enterprise Sales, Account Management or Customer Success (Leadership), then please reach out to me, as we would love to show you how Aomni can make your sales process and team A LOT more efficient.

As one of our customers said: "Aomni is a game-changer for my enterprise sales team. We now know more about our accounts than ever before and have more time to focus on much higher ROI activities."
