Sales automation startup Rox AI hits $1.2B valuation, sources say
The AI sales startup, founded in 2024, projects $8M in ARR for 2025 after raising $50M.
Rox AI, a sales automation startup founded just last year, has achieved a staggering $1.2 billion valuation, according to sources. The new funding round was led by returning investor General Catalyst, bringing the company's total raised capital to $50 million. Founded by Ishan Mukherjee, former chief growth officer at New Relic, Rox AI is projecting $8 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) for 2025. The company positions itself as an 'intelligent revenue operating system' that integrates with existing software like Salesforce and Zendesk.
Rox AI's core technology involves deploying hundreds of autonomous AI agents that work behind the scenes to monitor customer accounts, research new prospects, and automatically update CRM software. By consolidating these functions, the startup aims to streamline the numerous fragmented tools typically used by sales teams. The company counts Ramp, MongoDB, and New Relic among its early customers. It enters a competitive landscape that includes established players like Gong and Clari, as well as new AI-native CRM competitors such as Monaco.
