GapMinder Fund II announces a EUR 2 million seed investment in Salestools AI, a company leveraging Artificial Intelligence to boost B2B sales through autonomous digital agents who have a similar role to a „copilot”. The Salestools AI solution identifies potential clients and interacts with them 24/7, conducts deep research, automates outreach via LinkedIn and email, and handles responses and objections.
Salestools was founded in 2015 by husband and wife team Loredana Qvist (COO) and Jesper Qvist (CEO), both serial entrepreneurs with extensive experience in sales. Loredana Qvist has over 20 years of experience in sales and held positions at Big Four firms such as Deloitte and EY before founding SalesTools AI. Jesper Qvist has over 10 years of sales experience, holds an MBA and M.Sc. in innovation and business development, and has a strong track record in building Software as a Service (SaaS) companies.
Salestools AI’s management team aims to build the world’s first autonomous network powered by Artificial Intelligence to generate revenue — a network where digital agents enhance the work of the traditional sales development representatives (SDRs), optimizing every step of the sales cycle.
The company’s core product is the Automated SDR (Sales Development Representative) — an intelligent agent that automates and enhances the sales process. Key features include: prospecting (automated targeting, segmentation, and qualification of leads), visitor tracking (identifying and engaging with website visitors via email and LinkedIn), response and objection handling in just minutes
Salestools AI has developed a real-time visitor intent tracking system that analyzes behavioral signals across over 100,000+ websites, enabling companies to identify potential buyers, often before they engage directly or submit contact information. Using an extensive data layer, the platform enriches each lead with over 100 attributes, ranging from firmographics and technographics to hiring trends and funding activity.
Clients from Fortune 50 companies in North America, Europe, and APAC
The company has customers from multiple Fortune 50 companies in North America, Europe, and APAC. Nearly 70% of the company’s current revenues are coming from U.S.-based enterprises.
Salestools AI is expected to keep its targets of 50% month-over-month (MoM) growth throughout 2025 with a late-year expansion into a local office in the US. Thus, SalesTools is expected to increase six times its ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) from today’s level by the end of the year.
The company is building out an AI Research Lab in Bucharest and, later this year, a sales team in the US. Salestools AI currently has 8 employees in Bucharest and aims to grow to 20 by the end of 2025 and 80 by the end of 2026. The Romanian team will be focused on building Agentic AI agents and an intelligence network with customers.
