The fresh proceeds will be used to strengthen its product and expand the team, the company said in a press release. Founded in 2021 by Saahil Dhaka and Neil Sarkar, Clientell helps businesses improve revenue generation efficiency by introducing AI copilots to boost their go-to-market (GTM) execution and optimize pipeline governance and forecasting. The Bengaluru-based startup deploys custom forecasting processes and ML models for each customer rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. With its AI copilot, Clientell claims to have enabled its users, primarily chief revenue officers and Go-to-market leaders, to boost GTM execution and optimize pipeline governance and forecasting.
