Trumpet, a London-based innovator in sales technology, has announced a significant milestone with the completion of a €5.7 million ($6.35 million) seed funding round. The investment, spearheaded by AlbionVC, also saw contributions from existing backers Lightbird Ventures, Anamcara Capital, and Triple Point Ventures. This fresh capital injection will be instrumental in expanding Trumpet’s team, advancing product development, and facilitating its expansion into the US market.
Trumpet, founded in 2021 by Rory Sadler, Nick Telson-Sillett, and Andrew Webster, has crafted a unique solution for today’s complex sales environment. Their flagship product, the ‘Pod’, offers a centralized, collaborative sales room designed to streamline the buyer-seller interaction. By consolidating communication, presentations, and case studies into a single platform, Trumpet aims to enhance sales efficiency and accelerate decision-making processes.
As the sales landscape becomes increasingly digital and fragmented, Trumpet’s innovation addresses a crucial need. With an emphasis on async buying and catering to digitally-native millennial buyers, the company’s platform has demonstrated its value by reducing sales cycles by 28% and boosting closed-won opportunities by 13%. The company currently supports over 10,000 users and 250+ paying clients, including notable names like Cognism, OpenTable, Sky Media, and Crossbeam.
Rory Sadler, Trumpet’s CEO, commented, “In a time when companies are tightening their budgets, our platform provides a critical solution to modernize and streamline the sales process. Our goal is to centralize the buyer journey and enhance sales velocity, leveraging our proprietary revenue intelligence to offer unprecedented insights into deal pipelines. We’re thrilled to partner with AlbionVC to drive our expansion into the US and further integrate AI into our platform.”
Paul Lehair, Partner at AlbionVC, expressed enthusiasm about the investment, stating, “Trumpet has developed a standout B2B platform that is both intuitive and effective. Their solution is proving to be a game-changer for global sales teams. We are excited to support their growth and anticipate significant advancements as they extend their reach and capabilities.”
Editorial Opinion:
