Alta, a Tel Aviv-based startup, has raised $7 million in seed funding to develop an AI workforce specifically designed for sales teams. The company discovered that users prefer AI agents that are transparent about their non-human status, leading to better engagement. This approach contrasts with previous attempts to create more human-like AI, which ultimately eroded trust when errors occurred.
Founded in 2023 by industry veterans, Alta aims to automate various sales tasks, including prospecting and meeting scheduling, through a team of specialized AI agents. The startup has already attracted nearly 100 paying customers, including Fortune 500 companies, and plans to expand its offerings further into the sales cycle. With the new funding, Alta is set to enhance its AI capabilities and redefine the relationship between AI and sales teams.
