Reevo Raises $80 mn
Reevo has launched its AI-native go-to-market (GTM) platform with an $80 million funding round co-led by Khosla Ventures and Kleiner Perkins. The startup aims to unify marketing, sales and customer-success workflows into one intelligent system, reducing tool-sprawl and giving GTM teams a single source of truth. Founded in 2024 by David Zhu (CEO), Cindy Hao, Curtis Tan and Clement Fang, Reevo captures first-party data from emails, meetings and calendars and applies AI to streamline workflows. Investors believe the platform will redefine how companies generate revenue by replacing legacy CRM stacks.
Cactus Secures $7 mn
Cactus, an AI copilot for home-service businesses, announced a $7 million seed funding round led by Wellington Management and Y Combinator, with participation from Pelion Venture Partners and Rebel Fund. The platform automates customer calls, scheduling and follow-ups 24/7 for sectors like HVAC, plumbing and contracting, enabling smaller teams to operate at scale without adding staff. Founded by Ajith Govind (CEO) and Avinash Joshi (CTO), Cactus is targeting the $657 billion U.S. home-services market by converting missed inquiries into bookings and recurring revenue. Investors emphasize the company’s infrastructure-led approach to an underserved segment.
CommanderAI Raises $5 mn
CommanderAI, a prospecting-first sales platform built for waste haulers and other underserved verticals, secured a $5 million seed round led by 11 Tribes Ventures and Watchfire Ventures, with support from Gaingels and Rad Fund. Founded by David Berg (CEO), the company uses AI-driven insights to turn raw leads into quotes and placements—shifting waste-industry sales from spreadsheets to intelligent workflow. Contractors report tens of thousands of leads uncovered within months. Investors cite the large, overlooked market and CommanderAI’s domain-specific technology as key value drivers.
