1mind raised $30 million to scale AI sales agents that handle…

1mind, co-founded by Amanda Kahlow (ex-6sense CEO), raised $30 million in a Series A led by Battery Ventures, bringing total funding to $40 million. Its AI agent, Mindy, focuses on inbound sales rather than outbound, aiming to “replicate the human experience” across self‑serve sites and live calls, from technical sales engineering to onboarding, and even closing deals. The company uses a mix of LLMs (OpenAI, Google Gemini) with “deterministic AI” guardrails to curb hallucinations; Mindy is trained to admit uncertainty when needed. 1mind reports over 30 customers including HubSpot, LinkedIn, and New Relic, all on annual, non‑experimental contracts with an average six‑figure value. Kahlow also deploys an avatar of herself for VC diligence and public Q&A via her LinkedIn; Battery’s Neeraj Agrawal praised its nuanced conversation design and noted customers often forget they’re speaking to AI. Kahlow envisions agents eventually reshaping or replacing parts of AE roles, though trust remains a barrier for very large enterprise deals. She anticipates future agent‑to‑agent transactions will be information transfers rather than human‑like avatars. For now, 1mind still employs 44 people and is hiring with 71 openings, including AEs. The round included Primary Ventures, Wing VC, Operator Collective, Harmonic Growth Partners, Success Venture Partners, and angels from companies like Monday.com, ZoomInfo, Databricks, Box, Gong, Braze, and Verkada.
