Aligned bags $60M in funding to build the AI-native sales execution layer for enterprise deals
Team Aligned Inc., a startup that uses artificial intelligence to streamline deal execution for corporate buyers and sellers, said today it has clinched $60 million in a new round of funding.
PeakSpan Capital led the Series B round, which saw participation from all of the company’s earlier backers, including Hetz Ventures, JAL Ventures and NFX, bringing its total amount raised to date to $73.8 million.
Aligned is the developer of an AI-native collaborative dealmaking platform that aims to help overcome the chaotic nature of business-to-business sales execution. Though enterprises spend millions of dollars on expensive customer relationship management and revenue intelligence platforms, these tools do not solve the problem of how messy business deals are closed.
In most cases, the CRM is simply a system of record that logs events after they happen, while revenue intelligence tools simply analyze if a deal succeeded or failed. But neither helps buyers navigate their side of the journey, nor do they assist the salesperson in executing the intricate steps that go into enterprise deals.
