Goodmeetings has said that it has secured $ 1.7 million in Chiratae Ventures led pre-Series A round. 100X Entrepreneurs, FortyTwo.VC, Adept Ventures, Atrium Angels and First Check also participated in the funding round.
The round also saw participation from Kunal Shah (Founder & CEO, CRED), Vijay Shekhar Sharma (Founder & CEO, Paytm), Sujeet Kumar (Founder & CEO, Udaan), Piyush Shah (Co-Founder, Inmobi Group), Manish Maheshwari (MD, Twitter India), Raghunandan (Founder and CEO, Zolve, founder TaxiForSure), Sandeep Daga (CFO, Nestaway) and Krishna Kumar (Founder and CEO, Simplilearn).
Srinivasan Narayan, Co-founder and CEO – Goodmeetings, stated, “Goodmeetings leverages video, AI and analytics to enable sales teams to sell more effectively online than offline. The platform not only automates various ancillary tasks around selling (such as collecting customer information & taking notes) but also nudges the sales person about what to say and when during the video call itself. It self learns from each seller and buyer interaction and redeploys this learning in making future calls more effective.”
Speaking on the investment, Karthik Prabhakar, Executive Director & Partner of Chiratae Ventures, commented, “At Chiratae, we truly buy into the thesis of remote work changing the future of work and the need for vertical tools and technologies to solve for a business function either as good as or better than the status quo. Goodmeetings has the potential to permanently change the way sales is done and democratise economic opportunities for billions. This fits into our thesis and we are glad to back this team.”
