Sturdy.ai, a rapidly growing AI-based customer intelligence company, announced it has raised $6 million in Series Seed funding. Voyager Capital led this funding round, with participation from Fortson VC and existing investor, Grotech Ventures.
The funding will be used to deepen Sturdy’s AI capabilities, expand integrations with customer data silos, and grow its go-to-market and engineering teams.
With customer expectations higher than before and retention under pressure, the need for proactive, AI-based revenue insights has never been more urgent.
Enterprises spent millions on building silos of applications to get closer to their customers and create active communication channels in the hope of mitigating churn risk early. But this has failed to provide the required proactive warning signals. Sturdy closes the gap by seeing across these silos for a unified view of customer communication.
This funding round attracted a strong syndicate of investors aligned on Sturdy’s vision for a more innovative, AI-native approach to revenue intelligence. And Voyager Capital, known for backing category-defining SaaS platforms, led the round, with General Partner Diane Fraiman joining Sturdy’s board.
KEY QUOTES:
“We’re creating an AI-first intelligent interface for all things customer. This allows Sturdy to provide an almost magical understanding of every customer interaction across every data silo. This funding enables us to move faster to empower teams to stay ahead of risk and unlock new revenue opportunities.”
– Steve Hazelton, CEO and co-founder of Sturdy.ai
“Sturdy is tackling one of the most urgent and overlooked problems in enterprise software—how to extract proactive insights from the flood of daily customer interactions.
