Venta AI Secures $2M In Pre-Sees Round To Build Germany’s First AI Sales Employees

The startup offers an AI-powered sales platform built for the German market. It combines quality data, smart AI models, and marketing channels (including postal mail) in one tool—helping teams find top leads and launch personalised outreach within minutes.

Lucas Spreiter, Co-Founder & CEO of Venta AI, explained: You wouldn’t hire an English-speaking salesperson to sell to German customers - and the same principle applies to AI. While working in the U.S. during Y Combinator, we saw how fast the sales automation market is progressing. But the existing tools weren’t built for the German language or compliant with local regulations.

That’s why we decided to build the first AI sales employee specifically built with German language data and focused on compliance. We’re proud to have the backing of renowned investors who share our vision of localised AI employees.

Venta AI’s digital workers help businesses discover new customers based on their specific needs and reach out through compliant channels—boosting meeting bookings by up to 30%.

Fully hosted in European data centres and using GDPR-compliant data, Venta AI meets all local and EU ePrivacy standards.

Trusted by companies like UnternehmerTUM and ARNO Group, Venta AI is especially helpful for trade fairs and new business outreach—automating everything from lead research to contact, saving teams hours of prep.

The $2M round was led by Gradient, with support from Y Combinator, Orange Collective, Gaingels, and angels like Gleb Tritus and Julian Borg.

Eylul Kayin, Partner at Gradient, commented: Venta AI is tackling one of the most overlooked gaps in AI adoption: regional specificity. They’re building a truly localized sales platform by not just translating workflows, but aligning with regional buyer behavior, data standards, and compliance frameworks. That kind of contextual intelligence will separate winners from noise in the next wave of sales automation. We’re excited to back Lucas, Stefan, and the Venta AI team as they build AI employees that actually work for Europe.

Venta AI will use the new funding to enhance its AI-powered tools that automate repetitive tasks across the customer journey. The goal is to free up sales teams to focus more on face-to-face interactions.

Looking ahead, Venta AI’s digital employees will be able to manage outreach, respond to incoming requests, follow up on leads, and even analyse CRM data to suggest the next best customer to target.
