Naoma is a San Francisco-based startup building an interactive AI platform that replaces traditional sales scheduling with real-time, personalized demos delivered through voice and video avatars. The solution cuts demo wait times from more than 24 hours to roughly 10 seconds, enabling companies to engage the 98% of B2B website visitors who typically abandon the funnel before speaking with a representative. Led by CEO and co-founder Dmitry Zakharov, the company positions its technology as a way to boost lead capture and conversion rates. Naoma plans to use its newly raised capital to accelerate product development and scale customer acquisition initiatives. The emphasis is on refining the AI demo experience and expanding market reach. To date, the company has secured $440,000 in outside capital through its pre-seed round, representing its first disclosed financing.

Naoma has developed a conversational AI platform that embeds live, interactive video demos directly into a company’s website or product account, eliminating the need for prospects to wait for a human-led Zoom or Meet session. Its AI avatars present, answer questions in multiple languages, qualify leads on the fly, and automatically update CRM records, giving prospects a tailored demo experience in about ten seconds. The six-person team, co-founded by Dmitry Zakharov and Dima Ivanouski, draws on prior experience in high-velocity SaaS sales to address the conversion drop-off caused by delayed or static demos. Naoma differentiates itself from incumbents such as Navattic, Reprise, and Walnut by offering live, AI-driven video rather than pre-recorded walkthroughs. With $440,000 in new capital, the company is expanding its engineering team, enhancing avatar realism, and launching pilot programs with B2B software vendors. Management ultimately envisions running millions of demo sessions annually within the next four to five years, positioning the product as an always-on layer in modern SaaS buying journeys.
