Founded in 2021 by former Google X engineer Varun Puri and ex-Apple engineer Esha Joshi, Seattle-based Yoodli uses large language models to create interactive role-plays for sales calls, leadership coaching, interviews, and other high-stakes conversations. The platform lets users practice, receive AI feedback, and keep a human coach in the loop for personalized guidance. Major customers include Google, Snowflake, Databricks, RingCentral, Sandler Sales, and coaching firms such as Franklin Covey and LHH. Yoodli generates most of its revenue from enterprise clients and reports a 900% increase in average recurring revenue over the past 12 months, alongside a 50% jump in role-plays and practice time since its previous round. The system supports multiple LLMs (e.g., Gemini, GPT) and numerous languages, and can be embedded in existing enterprise software or accessed via web browser. With roughly 40 employees, recent senior hires include execs from Tableau, Salesforce, and Remitly. The new capital will fund further AI coaching, analytics, personalization features, hiring across product and research, and expansion in the U.S. and Asia-Pacific regions.
