People.ai has built a platform to ingest all the data that salespeople generate in the course of their work and then use it to provide guidance to them to help source and close more deals. People.ai frees all customer-facing teams, including sales, marketing, and customer success, from manual data entry by automatically capturing all contacts and customer activity data, dynamically updating the CRM and providing actionable intelligence across all management tools, allowing them to realize their full selling capacity. Sitting in the background, requiring no active input from the user, it picks up all the “exhaust” produced in the process of a day, and uses it to produce cheat sheets to salespeople so that they can use them when speaking to clients to help them close deals, providing interesting insights, relevant facts and other details. The company currently has more than 65 patents (secured and in progress) on intelligent matching. In May 2019, the company raised $60 million in funding from a round is led by Iconiq.
