- Olto
Participated · Seed · Jul 2025
Olto builds an AI-native demo engineer that integrates with a customer’s CRM and live product to create context-aware, prospect-specific demo environments and interactive product tours. The platform overlays intelligent, prospect-specific data across real interfaces using a custom entity resolution engine and a flexible orchestration layer that leverages multiple LLMs. Designed for the entire GTM motion, Olto aims to replace manual, inconsistent demo preparation and reduce maintenance overhead of legacy demo tools. Early production customers include Demandbase, Eightfold.ai, Qventus, and Jiminny, and customers report improved win rates and up to a 70% reduction in demo preparation time. The founding team includes former Amazon executives Kintan Brahmbhatt and Jean-Baptiste Chaput, with Pranav Midha as founding engineer, and the company emphasizes applying consumer personalization instincts to B2B sales demos. Headquartered in San Francisco, Olto positions itself to accelerate sales cycles and scale personalized demo delivery across revenue motions.
- Revyze
Participated · Seed · Oct 2022
Revyze offers a mobile app where students scroll through verified short videos and quizzes made by high schoolers, university students and teachers to learn in a social, bite-sized format. Since launching in August 2022 the app has grown to over 1M users, with more than 2,000 creators contributing 20,000 videos that have generated 150M views. The product blends gamified learning mechanics (inspired by Duolingo) with short-form social formats (inspired by TikTok) and uses AI to help creators produce higher-quality, personalized content. Revyze plans to expand beyond France, targeting a US launch in 2025 where it already runs a small pilot and has an early creator community. To increase retention it will add gamification features such as daily quests, coins, badges and social features to let classmates connect and personalize recommendations. Financially, Revyze has closed a $6M seed round following a $2.2M pre-seed in 2022. Revyze offers an iOS and Android app that presents a TikTok-style, full-screen feed of short (up to three-minute) educational videos with a secondary tab for topic- and chapter-based exploration. The team validates uploaded videos via staff and community review, plans to add peer moderation and machine learning, and awards community contributors with reward points called EDU. Revyze began by targeting France’s baccalauréat students, grew a Discord community, and amassed 35,000 downloads in a few weeks while reaching No. 2 on the App Store’s top free apps chart. The product emphasizes algorithmic personalization focused on learning outcomes rather than watch time. Long‑term ideas mentioned include possibly turning EDU into an on-platform currency, but the immediate roadmap centers on international expansion and personalization. The company aims to reach 500,000 users by year-end and to expand to the U.S. within six to 12 months.
