Hyperbound, a San Franciso-based startup that uses AI to simulate sales conversations for training or practice, has raised $15 million in its Series A funding round led by Peak XV Partners.
The funding round also saw participation from Y Combinator, Snowflake Ventures, Roble Ventures, and Fellows Fund.
The startup will use the fresh capital to expand its AI-powered sales training platform and enhance its product offerings. The company plans to further develop its scalable practice arena for sales teams and strengthen its real-time coaching capabilities.
The startup was founded by Sriharsha Guduguntla and Atul Raghunathan in 2022. Hyperbound builds AI tools to help sales teams train, coach, and improve performance using simulated practices, analytics, and feedback. The platform creates AI sales roleplays and offers real call scoring, custom AI scorecards, and learning modules for revenue teams.
Hyperbound's customer base includes notable companies like Autodesk, Monday.com, Bloomberg, and Hub International across various sectors.
"Sales teams should be able to coach in real time without having to spend countless hours analysing calls and roleplaying with their managers," said co-founder Raghunathan. "That was our original vision for Hyperbound."
Arnav Sahu, Partner, Peak XV Partners, said that the future of sales will be reimagined with voice and video avatar AI.
"Sales reps love using the platform to close faster and improve productivity — the product is a 10x leap over the status quo," added Sahu.
