"Rory, Nick, and Andrew have built one of the most exciting B2B platforms we have seen recently. Trumpet is elegantly designed and extremely easy to use and it’s already proving its effectiveness with global teams. There is so much potential for Pods to not only own the conversations between buyers and sellers but also other areas of B2B communications and I’m looking forward to working with the team as they expand and grow."
The funding round was led by AlbionVC with participation from Lightbird Ventures, Anamcara Capital and Triple Point Ventures.
"Companies are continuing to tighten their belts because of the economic climate and that means sales teams need to change how they fundamentally approach selling. We’re helping companies collaborate and centralise their buyer journey, increasing their sales efficiency and velocity. Our proprietary revenue intelligence signals are also helping revenue leaders forecast and understand their deal pipeline like never before. The new trend of buyer enablement is happening and we’re at the forefront of it. We’re delighted to be working with Paul and the team at Albion to support us as we expand to the US and integrate AI into the platform so we can continue to serve buyers and sellers."
