| SciFin is an AI-powered revenue intelligence platform designed to close the “context gap” faced by modern revenue teams. Sales information is often scattered across CRM systems, emails, call notes, documents, spreadsheets, people, and multiple AI tools. SciFin brings this information together to create a more complete and current view of deals,accounts, representatives, pipelines, and territories. The platform helps sales leaders and revenue operations teams identify at-risk deals earlier, improve forecasting, understand rep and pipeline performance, and reduce the time spent manually collecting and reconciling information. Sales managers can use the resulting context to focus coaching where it matters most, while sales representatives can quickly understand account history, risks, open questions, and next steps before customer meetings. | $44M / Seed / Sep 01, 2026 | ||
