What AiSDR does

AiSDR automates sales prospecting. Our software uses AI to automatically write and send sales emails, once a prospective customer engages - we then automatically correspond and book meetings with them. AiSDR's sales emails have an average response rate of 7.1%, which is already on par with the industry response rate from emails written by humans. We are aiming to replace over 600k SDRs, that cost US companies $48B a year.

AI sales prospecting replacing human SDRs

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built AiSDR to automate sales prospecting. Our AI writes and sends emails to potential customers, handles replies, and books meetings automatically. It replaces the manual work of sales development reps (SDRs) by managing entire email conversations after initial engagement.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

Oleg and Yuriy live in San Francisco; the company is based there with a remote-first team.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we and the rest of the team are located, and it keeps us close to our target customers and investors. We work remotely too to cover wider talent and market needs.
