A French AI startup focused on sales optimization has raised €1.7 million in its pre-Seed funding round. Sillage, which launched officially this month, develops software to help enterprise sales teams convert buying signals into qualified leads. The company confirmed the funding on Tuesday, with investors including Kima Ventures, Angel Invest, and Drysdale Ventures, alongside private angel investors.
The fresh capital will allow Sillage to expand its team and refine its product. The startup’s platform analyzes customer data to highlight the most promising opportunities for sales teams. By automating signal detection, it aims to reduce the time sales representatives spend on manual research.
Sillage’s approach targets large companies with complex sales cycles. Its software integrates with existing CRM systems to provide real-time insights. The company’s founders previously worked in enterprise sales and identified inefficiencies in how teams prioritize leads.
The €1.7 million round follows months of pilot testing with corporate clients. Sillage has not disclosed revenue figures but stated it has active contracts with several Fortune 500 companies. The startup plans to use the funds to accelerate product development and expand its sales force in Europe and North America.
