Nooks, a San Francisco, CA-based AI dialing & prospecting platform, raised $22M in Series A funding.

The round was led by Lachy Groom with participation from Tola Capital and Stifel Venture Banking, bringing Nooks total funding to $27M.

Led by Dan Lee, CEO, Nooks provides a platform for sales teams prospecting over the phone. It multiplies sales productivity by automating manual call tasks, providing strategic insights, and up-skilling reps with AI training & collaboration.

The suite includes:

  • the AI Dialer, which automates manual tasks like skipping ringing and answering machines, logging calls, and taking notes. The AI Research feature analyzes data from emails, calls, closed lost notes, marketing campaigns, and LinkedIn to help reps personalize their call scripts and identify high-intent leads.
  • Nooks Numbers, which uses AI to automatically identify prospects with inaccurate phone data and finds new phone numbers by searching across data providers like Apollo, Cognism, and ZoomInfo.
  • Nooks Call Analytics, which transcribes and analyzes calls to help teams answer questions like “what objections are we getting stuck on”, and “which call scripts are working best.”
  • Nooks Virtual Salesfloor, which provides a Zoom-like environment that helps remote, hybrid, and distributed sales teams do live call-coaching and collaborate throughout the day.

The company also recently released an ‘AI Training’ feature that helps reps practice selling to a realistic AI buyer persona.

Nooks works with B2B tech companies who have an outbound calling motion. It has deep integrations with popular sales tools like Outreach, Salesloft, Apollo, Gong, Hubspot and Salesforce.
