Philippines’ Kickstart Ventures join AI native firm Sprout.ai’s Pre-Series A $9 M funding round
Sprouts.ai, an AI-native firm that provides B2B companies with Revenue Agents using a unique go-to-market (GTM) data layer, has secured $9 million in Pre-Series A funding.
With participation from the Philippines-based Kickstart Ventures, the round was co-led by True Global Ventures (TGV) and Accel, increasing Sprouts.ai’s total fundraising to $14 million. According to a statement released by Kickstart Ventures on Thursday, the additional capital would support deeper enterprise integrations, improved AI agent capabilities, and ongoing platform expansion.
With its Deep AI GTM Engine, which integrates customer intelligence and AI-powered processes into a single platform, the California-based startup assists businesses in identifying, engaging, and converting ideal consumers.
“The B2B revenue stack is broken. We built Sprouts.ai to replace that fragmentation with a unified data and agent layer that actually moves the pipeline,” said Karan Chaudhry, co-founder and CEO of Sprouts.ai.
This problem is common in Southeast Asia, where data readiness limitations continue to be a significant obstacle to the adoption of AI. Prebuilt databases lack depth and breadth of coverage in the region’s different marketplaces because many global GTM platforms still have greater coverage in North America and Europe than in Southeast Asia.
“We’re entering an age where the businesses that win will be the ones who truly understand who their customers are. As AI agents take on more of the work of finding, understanding, and engaging the right customers, that data advantage is what will set Sprouts.ai apart,” said Joan Yao, General Partner at Kickstart Ventures.
The platform from Sprouts.ai integrates buyer committee mapping, relationship networks, product heatmaps, complicated query search, and autonomous AI workflows. It assists teams in transitioning from dispersed workflows to more coordinated execution by connecting to enterprise systems like Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, and huge language models like Claude.
