Octolane, a San Francisco-based startup founded by Bangladeshi immigrants Md Abdul Halim Rafi and One Chowdhury, has raised USD 2.6 million in seed funding to launch the world’s first self-driving AI-powered CRM platform. Led by prominent investors, the funding round will help Octolane automate and streamline CRM processes using large language models (LLMs) and proprietary AI tools. The platform eliminates manual data entry, analyzes customer interactions in real time, and generates personalized follow-ups, offering increased productivity and efficiency for B2B sales teams.
With over 200 businesses already onboard and 5,000 on the waitlist, Octolane targets companies using existing CRM platforms like Salesforce, HubSpot, and Pipedrive. Investors are impressed with the founders’ technical expertise and the platform’s potential to address longstanding challenges in the sales tech space. Octolane plans to scale its engineering team, accelerate product development, and expand its integrations to further disrupt the global CRM market, valued at over USD 100 billion.
