Lyra, an AI-native meeting platform for sales teams, has successfully completed a $6 million seed funding round, raising its valuation to $40 million. Led by 468 Capital, the investment also includes contributions from Rebel Fund, Y Combinator, Transpose Ventures, and executives from companies like Ramp, Gusto, and Zapier.
Lyra transforms traditional sales calls into collaborative “deal rooms” with a real-time AI agent that surfaces relevant data and documents. This integration streamlines the sales process and enhances the buying experience.
Since its launch, Lyra has seen rapid growth, with revenue increasing from $20,000 to $700,000 in just six weeks, making it one of the fastest-growing companies in its Y Combinator batch.
Founded by Courtne Marland (CEO) and Henry Kwon (CTO), Lyra powers over 200 hours of sales calls weekly. The new funding will help the company enhance its AI capabilities, expand its team, and scale operations to meet growing demand.
KEY QUOTES:
“Companies miss out on billions in sales from dropped follow-ups and slow sales processes. Lyra functions as your invisible AI assistant on calls, detecting decisions, following up on tasks, and ensuring no prospect ever gets left behind in the busywork.”
Courtne Marland, Lyra’s CEO and co-founder
“What impressed us most was how fast Lyra’s platform delivers value in live calls. It’s rare to see this level of engineering paired with such clear customer impact this early, and we have no doubt this team will continue to grow and innovate.”
Philipp Seifert, Partner at 468 Capital
