Specialists in AI team management and revenue generation, Humanlinker has raised €2.5M from Karista (via the Paris Region Venture Fund), Founders Ventures and Business Angels. The start-up's goal is to strengthen its existing teams while spurring technological development, so that its desktop application can go to work for sales teams throughout Europe.

‍

‍

Founded in 2020 in Montpellier and also based in Paris, Humanlinker is a RevTech Start-up developing a wonderful desktop application allowing fast-growing companies to align revenue teams around an account & human based strategy guided by AI.

‍

Humanlinker has convinced many investors and has just raised a seed round of 2.5M€ led by Karista (via Paris Region Venture Fund) & Founders Ventures (Pre-seed investor) and about fifteen business angels (Serial Entrepreneur, SaaS Experts, Sales Leaders), including Clément Buyse & Jonathan Benhamou - Co-founders of PeopleDoc, Pascal Colin - ex General Manager France & VP EMEA of DocuSign, Jérome Joaug - Serial Entrepreneur in the UK & Partner at Aster Capital, Frédéric Kingue-Johnson - General Manager & VP EMEA South at ContentSquare, Nicolas Cazeneuve - CEO & Founder at Easymovie, Yohan Stern - CEO at Key Performance Group & President of the Los Angeles French Tech.

The new capital will drive the company’s recruitment program as it looks to hire over 20 new talents to boost its development in Europe & build new technological bricks within the product.

‍

Revenue generation is the main goal of organizations, but it’s getting harder and harder.

‍

• Revenue Leaders don’t have the right methodology to align & guide all their team members around the same strategy for their ICPs & Personas, nor do they leverage company networks to obtain warm introductions at scale.

‍

• Sales Teams are negatively impacted by the ever-expanding number of people involved in the process, resulting in sales cycles that drag on longer and longer

‍

• ‍Prospecting Teams are struggling with outbound campaigns, decision makers are overwhelmed, CRMs are inefficient as they do not help to focus on the right account at the right time

‍

"It's time for a new solution to emerge! That's why we've built the first technology dedicated to creating unbeatable revenue teams." Thibault Brioland - CEO & Co-founder @ Humanlinker

‍

In 2022 Humanlinker will launch a breakthrough innovation on which we have been working since 2020 with CEA Tech, one of our strategic partners.

‍

This innovation, called “Deep Mapping Relationship” will be the backbone of the future of business relationships and perfectly illustrates our vision and the name of our company "Humanlinker".

‍

" Mastering the business process remains a key area of development of companies. Humanlinker brings an innovative solution to the Sales cycle. Thibault and Régis convinced us by their ability to quickly launch technologies that Sales team performance" - Benjamin Zerbib Investment Director @Karista
