Breakout, a company developing AI sales reps, announced its launch from stealth and $3.25 million seed funding led by Village Global, with participation from Recall Capital, Z21 Ventures, and leading angels. And the company’s AI rep engages with customers at their highest point of intent and conducts an instant demo and discovery call.
Unlike many companies, Breakout is already live with customers and generating real revenue for their customers, all autonomously. And the company plans to use the new funding to launch out of beta and begin accepting customers off its waitlist.
Existing AI sales agents promise to streamline B2B sales, but many fall short by relying on rigid, scripted interactions that fail to engage prospects. Instead of delivering personalized responses, these agents often generate generic messages that leave potential customers feeling disconnected and undervalued. Their inability to accurately integrate real-time prospect data and seamlessly interface with CRM systems results in disjointed experiences that squander valuable lead opportunities.
Breakout overcomes the shortcomings of traditional AI sales agents by offering a dynamic and context-aware solution that deeply engages prospects. Using advanced natural language processing and real-time data integration, Breakout personalizes every interaction based on each visitor’s specific needs and behaviors.
This platform seamlessly syncs with CRM systems and leverages first- and third-party data to generate tailored responses, multimedia content, and live demos that resonate with potential buyers.
Breakout’s features include:
1.) 24/7 Interactive Engagement – Always-available, 10x buying experience. Deliver accurate responses grounded in your knowledge base.
2.) Instant Demos & Q&A – Prospects no longer wait days for demo scheduling or a follow-up call. Breakout can show product features in real time.
3.) Qualifying Questions – Breakout strategically asks questions to understand need, intent, and timeline—helping sales teams prioritize high-value opportunities
The founding team behind Breakout has decades of deep technical expertise and proven results. Founder and CEO Sachin Gupta previously founded and led HackerEarth, a technical hiring platform used by over a thousand companies and 10 million developers. And he partnered with Hitesh Aggarwal, who spent more than a decade building AI products at Google and Citi. While scaling his previous startup, Sachin saw first-hand how difficult it was to scale the early part of the sales process. Hitesh shared this vision as he saw first-hand that it was not just startups that struggled with it, but larger companies even more so.
