Show me the money: RevenueHero boosts sales pipelines as it raises $5.1M to scale globally

RevenueHero

Companies are taking too long to engage sales leads or not responding at all leading to marketing spend wastage and a stuttering sales pipeline. Helping businesses take back control of their growth, sales pipeline acceleration platform RevenueHero, is today announcing a $5.1 million Pre-Series A funding round led by Stellaris Venture Partners with participation from existing investor Together Fund. The funds raised will be utilised to scale the business across the North American market and to strengthen the team. Founded in 2021, RevenueHero aims to help businesses achieve their revenue goals by significantly increasing their sales pipeline. Through instant lead qualification, enrichment, routing, and scheduling, the platform connects qualified buyers with the right sales representatives directly, offering a superior experience to buyers as well as increasing revenue for their customers. RevenueHero was founded by Sudharshan Karthik, Aaditya S, Charanyan Venkataraghavan, Hariharan R, Krupesh Muthukumar, and Pranav R. Today, 42% of the companies take at least 5 days to respond to a prospect who wants to buy from them. The remaining 58% don't even respond, resulting in wasted $11B of ad spend annually. “The sophistication, effort and money spent in getting a buyer's attention is coming to an anti-climatic end as soon as they request a demo. In most B2B companies today the first sales experience that prospects see is a faceless thank you for visiting us page. Presenting high-intent buyers with an experience that matches their urgency shouldn't be one that involves email ping-ponging and inbox-watching. We've seen this process at a scale where painfully long sales cycles lead to frustrating buying experiences that hurt the business bottom line. At RevenueHero, we make it easy for a customer to buy from a business by ensuring a frictionless experience throughout the B2B buyer journey.” said Sudharshan Karthik, co-founder and CEO of RevenueHero. Built with marketers and sales teams in mind, RevenueHero manages the complexities of scaled marketing and sales workflow in B2B companies. With RevenueHero, any B2B company can enable its prospects to book a meeting with the right sales rep directly from the website. RevenueHero has enabled businesses to increase their booked meetings by 50% and reduce junk meetings by 45%. “In 2007, the benchmark for responding to a prospect was less than 5 minutes. Today, we live in a world where we get a cab at a click of a button. 5 minutes is too little too late now. B2B buyers have way more information at their disposal to do their research, compare, and evaluate before they make a purchasing decision. When they finally come knocking on the door, they’ve mostly made up their mind and are only looking for answers to a few critical questions before completing the purchase. At this stage, winning the customer is really about how well and quickly can the company respond to the prospect" added Sudharshan Karthik. Alok Goyal, Partner, Stellaris Venture Partners, said, “We believe the workflow of lead conversion needs to be reimagined. Losing high-intent prospects can be a significant setback for businesses leading to a loss of opportunities, time, and money. With a deep understanding of the problem statement and razor-sharp focus on the B2B buyer journey, the team has built a solution that demonstrates value to its customers. We’re thrilled to back this passionate team and are excited about their journey ahead.” Manav Garg, Founding Partner, Together Fund said "We're thrilled to partner with the RevenueHero team as they continue to scale their platform globally and transform the B2B buyer journey. At Together Fund, we believe that a quick response time and a seamless buyer journey are critical to converting leads and winning customers. RevenueHero's platform excels in both areas, enabling businesses to connect qualified buyers with the right sales representatives and reducing junk meetings. We're excited about the journey ahead and look forward to supporting RevenueHero's continued growth and success.” About RevenueHero RevenueHero is a pipeline acceleration software, driving top B2B companies' growth today. Through instant qualification, scheduling, routing, and handoff, RevenueHero helps companies match their potential customers' buying intent with the urgency and experience that they deserve, instead of a bland boilerplate experience. Top marketing teams like Okendo, Inflection, Rocketlane, and Traefik use RevenueHero to increase qualified booked meetings without burning their budget. About Stellaris Venture Partners Stellaris is an early-stage tech-focused VC firm that partners with fearless founders who dream big, think differently, and have an unstoppable desire to challenge the status quo. The fund works with these teams at nascent stages to help transform their ideas into resilient businesses. Stellaris does so with a team of seasoned, diverse operators and entrepreneurs who bring significant experience in building businesses, and by providing access to some of the most successful founders and professionals in India and the US. Since its inception in 2017, Stellaris has backed many market leaders such as Mamaearth, Whatfix, Propelld, Turno, Rigi, and others.

Democracy at risk in Turkish election

International Association of Political Consultants

Recent moves by Turkish President Reception Tayyip Erdogan to restrict social media in tomorrow’s Turkish election is a direct assault on the democratic process. According to Matt Klink, President of the International Association of Political Consultants (IAPC), “free access to information and ideas is at the heart of democracy. Denying citizens access to social media robs them of their ability to make informed decisions.” Under Erdogan, limits have been placed on social media in an effort to silence the voice of opposition parties. Klink pointed out, “The attempt by Erdogan and his cronies to prevent the voice of the people to be heard is deeply troubling in a country that already has placed severe restrictions on the press.” “What is especially concerning is the decision by Twitter to follow these restrictions,” said Klink. “An American company that claims to promote free speech should not be aiding and abetting a dictator in his efforts to subvert the democratic process. This has far reaching precedence for future elections.” “We all have a stake in ensuring that elections are run free and without interference, including restrictions on reporting and a free press. The IAPC and it’s members are committed to ensuring democratic elections free from any interference,” concluded Klink. Founded in 1968, the IAPC brings together members at its annual meeting to exchange views and information about political developments and campaign techniques.

Our economy is an ecosystem where big businesses and small businesses are vendors, employees, partners, and customers to each other. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce helps to strengthen and support America’s small businesses especially during challenging and uncertain times. The Chamber’s new Prompt Pay Pledge asks companies to pay their small business suppliers and vendors quicker to ensure the nation’s economic success. Companies who sign the Prompt Pay Pledge commit to quicker payment for invoices or enabling private financing solutions, and clearly communicating payment policies and terms to their small business suppliers or vendors.

Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Work: Preparing the Workforce for an AI-Driven Economy

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/dF-Ro-2ZuM4 Over the next 10 to 20 years, virtually every business and government agency will use Artificial Intelligence. This will have a profound impact on society, the economy, and national security. ChatGPT and autonomous vehicles are two examples of the various applications of AI that demonstrate the ability these technologies have to fundamentally transform how Americans live and work. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Commission on Artificial Intelligence Competition, Inclusion, and Innovation recently released a report outlining recommendations for how to address key risks associated with AI, while maximizing the technology’s enormous potential benefits. The report recommends that policymakers must address regulations, workforce preparation and education, global competitiveness—especially pertaining to intellectual property—and national security protections. The U.S. should not pause the development of AI, but rather take the necessary action to ensure we have trustworthy AI and maintain a competitive position in the global economy. Jordan Crenshaw, Senior Vice President of the Chamber’s Technology Engagement Center conducted a nationwide media tour discussing the report and the state of Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Work. Topics that Jordan discussed included: How widespread will the use of artificial intelligence be in the coming years. How to get the U.S. workforce ready and ways to help businesses hire people. Ways the U.S. can stay competitive. Concerns about regulating artificial intelligence. Should there be a pause on development?

Stay One Step Ahead: Master the Essentials of Cybersecurity Readiness!

YourUpdateTV

From data breaches to phishing scams, cybercrime is on the rise, and it's time to arm yourself with the knowledge and tools to stay safe in the digital world. Recently, Dave Lewis, Global Advisory Chief Information Security Officer at Cisco Security, conducted a satellite media tour to share tips and tricks to outsmart cyber criminals and stay safe online. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/VDTqR8LqwOM After surveying over 6,700 cybersecurity leaders worldwide, Cisco found that less than 15% of companies were ‘Mature’ enough (or considered to have advanced enough security) to defend against modern cybersecurity risks, even though 82% of respondents said they expect a cybersecurity incident to disrupt their business in the next two years. While this may not seem to directly impact consumers at first, the aftermath can take a large toll on the public, causing emails, credit cards and personal information to be leaked on the internet. Here are some tips that Lewis shared: · Be a safe shopper: o Never use a debit card, use a credit card, I like one specifically for online purchases. o Don’t save your personal or credit card information on any company site – If they company doesn’t have it, the company can’t lose it, and the criminals can’t steal it. o Closely watch your online accounts. · Build cyber street smarts - Criminals will use information from a breach against you: o Evaluate the company before sharing personal information. o Only share essential information with any company or third-party. o Know the signs of a scam - If it seems too good to be true, if there’s too much pressure. · Personal resilience - Expect breaches: o Use multi-factor on all accounts. o Use separate email addresses and credit cards – our phones may make this easier. o Talk about it when it happens – empathy and compassion, kinder than necessary. According to Cisco, 60% of respondents said they had a cybersecurity incident in the last year, which cost 41% of organizations affected at least $500,000. While forward-looking businesses are investing in resilience and focused on improving their ability to defend against and minimize the impact of an attack, consumers also must take an active role in protecting their own information, especially as breaches become more and more inevitable.

Shareholder Calls for Removal of Dan Schulman from Board at Verizon Annual Meeting

National Legal & Policy Center

Today, Paul Chesser, Director of the National Legal and Policy Center ’s Corporate Integrity Project, gave remarks at Verizon Communications Inc.’s annual meeting in Salt Lake City, to support a shareholder proposal the ethics group filed with the company. NLPC’s proposal would require the company to itemize and disclose the nature of ‘take-down requests’ it has received from the U.S. government. Revelations from “The Twitter Files,” about the aggressive efforts by the federal government to pressure social media and telecommunications companies to censor critics and political enemies of public officials, was part of the motivation for the proposal. During Chesser’s presentation, he also called for the removal of Dan Schulman, CEO of PayPal, from the Verizon board of directors. Schulman has presided over extensive censorship, de-platforming and punitive financial measures against customers during his tenure at PayPal. The full text of Chesser’s remarks is below: Verizon opposes our proposal for a report on government takedown requests because the Company says it already publishes so-called “ Transparency Reports,” and therefore the report we request isn’t necessary. But what Verizon calls a “Transparency Report,” is nothing of the sort. The report we seek asks for specific requests for censorship that Verizon has received from all branches of the United States government. All Verizon’s alleged “Transparency Reports” give you are numbers, and zero transparency. As we have seen from the revelations in the “ Twitter Files,” agencies controlled by the White House censored their critics via social and corporate media entities, at an unprecedented scale. For example, major tech companies including Verizon met monthly with the FBI and Homeland Security ahead of the 2020 election, to discuss how to handle so-called “election misinformation.” Platforms, including those controlled by Verizon, reportedly removed alleged “misinformation” at the request of the government. Yet there are no such disclosures of any censorship incidents in Verizon’s phony “Transparency Report.” But the type of report we request would include them. Verizon also engaged in election interference when it abruptly shut down a test run of one of Donald Trump’s most important voter-contact programs one weekend in July 2020, potentially costing the former president millions of dollars in donations. And in 2021, members of Congress who regulate the telecom industry wrote to Verizon urging them to drop One America News Network and other conservative-leaning news channels. Verizon ended its 17-year relationship with OANN, while the discredited, flailing CNN remains on the Company’s channel listings. If Verizon truly wanted to stop “misinformation,” they would dump CNN. Verizon, meanwhile, claims that, “Our respect for the right to freedom of expression of opinion is fundamental to our business.” Because of these examples I cited and others, we doubt that Verizon genuinely believes in freedom of speech. But if Verizon wants the public to believe that, one step they could take is to ask for the resignation of Dan Schulman from the Board of Directors. While he’s been CEO of PayPal, his company has implemented some of the most extreme cancel culture and censorship policies in Corporate America, including trying to impose a $2,500 fine of account holders who allegedly promote “misinformation.” PayPal also terminated, without warning, the account of one of the last remaining pro-Democracy groups in Hong Kong, before it fell to the communist Chinese government. I could cite many more examples of PayPal’s cancel culture actions during Mr. Schulman’s tenure. He has no business being on the board of a major media or telecom corporation – or any company for that matter. Thank you, and please vote FOR Item 5 on the proxy statement. END REMARKS NLPC has filed more than two dozen shareholder proposals this proxy season, and appeared at the annual meetings of Apple, Disney, Starbucks, Coca-Cola, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Berkshire Hathaway, and Boeing, and will similarly present resolutions at many other companies in the coming weeks. Founded in 1991, NLPC promotes ethics in public life and government accountability through research, investigation, education, and legal action. ### For more information or to schedule an interview with an NLPC representative, contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or drene@nlpc.org.
