Round: Seed + Series A
Lead Investor: Coatue, Canaan Partners
Sumble is a sales intelligence platform that maps what’s happening inside a company using public data.
Its crawlers scan job boards, company blogs, regulatory filings, social channels, to synthesize the signals into a knowledge graph for LLMs. Reps can see which tools are being used in which departments, who owns specific initiatives, what’s being procured, and when buying windows are likely to open. The platform delivers this context through a web app and API, with optional CRM and workflow integrations.
