11x

Quick update from 11x - Today, we’re thrilled to announce our $50M Series B funding led by Andreessen Horowitz. Link to our full Manifesto and Bloomberg article in the comments. In 1999, Salesforce brought software to the cloud. In 2024, 11x is killing traditional software as we know it. So, what sets 11x apart? - We don’t build software. We code labor. - We don’t sell tools. We deliver measurable outcomes. - We don’t integrate with your tech stack. We replace it. Since our Series A announcement a few weeks back, we've: - Doubled our headcount globally. - Acquired Opkit to accelerate our AI development. - Built an entirely new version of Alice using the latest agentic AI research. Alice 2.0 is fully autonomous, leverages first-party data, and learns from every interaction to improve over time. 11x is hiring exceptional engineers and operators in San Francisco. If you’re ready to help shape the future of work, let’s talk.

Opkit is joining 11x! I'm beyond excited to announce that Opkit's team has been acquired by 11x.ai, the super-fast-growing AI startup behind Alice, the world’s first AI sales rep, and Mike, the world’s best AI agent for sales calls. At 11x, my co-founder Justin Ko and I will be leading development on Alice 2.0, a fully reimagined version of 11x’s core “digital worker” that is based on cutting-edge agentic technologies instead of traditional LLM techniques like prompt chaining and fine-tuning (shoutout to my friends at LangChain and Anthropic for their help with this!). Opkit was one of the first startups to launch a vertical-focused AI phone solution (we did it for healthcare). Our team has deep experience building AI products and using AI tools. We're excited to bring this experience to a new company and problem space. My journey to 11x began in July through a conversation with my friend and former Brex colleague Prabhav Jain, now 11x's CTO. When he introduced me to Alice, I was honestly floored. As a SaaS founder, I know how tough sales outreach can be - hours spent learning complex tools like Apollo, Instantly, and Clay, crafting email offers, and wrestling with deliverability issues. 11x makes all of this work irrelevant by giving founders and revenue leaders Alice, a best-in-class SDR that never sleeps. I can't over-emphasize how transformative this would have been for Opkit! Today, with the announcement of 11x's series B, Opkit acquisition, and Alice 2.0, I couldn't be prouder. We built Alice 2.0 in less than two months. It's a testament to the incredible team we've assembled here and our company's obsession with speed (“accelerate or die”). To our Opkit customers: thank you for your support. As we begin winding-down the Opkit platform over the next few months, we’ll be working to ensure a smooth transition for everyone. To my investors: thank you for believing in us and for supporting us through every pivot. You all are world-class. To my co-founder Justin: I love you bro! More updates to come, but in the meantime, check out the press release in the comments. Also, if you’re a founder or engineer and interested in learning more about roles at 11x, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'd love to connect! #opkit #startup #founder #acquisition #sales #ai #artificialintelligence #digitalworkers #llms #largelanguagemodels #aiagents #agent #agents #ycombinator

We had an incredible time last night during TECH WEEK by a16z where we presented findings from our latest research on the evolution of B2B buying groups and explored critical metrics and best practices for early-stage startups.   Special thanks to Emir Atli from HockeyStack, Keith Fearon from 11x, and our LinkedIn experts, Rachel Steinberg and Ruby James, for enriching the discussion with their insights.   A huge thank you to everyone who participated in the roundtable discussion and energized the networking session. The conversations we had will undoubtedly drive innovation and growth.   Looking forward to continuing these powerful discussions! 🚀   #B2BMarketing #SFTechWeek #SaaS #LinkedInMarketing

Congrats to 11x on raising $24M in Series A funding led by Benchmark! 🎉 Revenue teams are all too familiar with piling on specialized GTM software, leading to fragmented systems and bloated operational costs. Each new tool requires its own integrations, maintenance, and training, undoing any efficiency gains the tools were supposed to deliver. That’s why they take a different approach. Instead of adding another tool to your crowded tech stack, 11x sells work. 🚀 They started with Alice, an AI-powered SDR automating prospecting. Now, they’ve introduced Jordan, an AI phone rep focused on inbound lead qualification and consented outbound calling. 📳 Speak to Jordan, an AI phone rep! ➡ https://lnkd.in/d6SkMufR
