'We believe summer isn't just a season, it's a state of mind," Mariana Leal, a FARM Rio executive, said in a statement. "This collab with Starbucks is our way of celebrating that vibrant, colorful energy that's so true to FARM Rio's spirit."

Telesales startup Solda.AI raises $4 million
the pioneering AI telesales startup, has raised a $4M seed funding round to revolutionize phone sales with easy-to-deploy multimodal AI voice agents that can close deals autonomously. 0 The round was led by Accel, with participation from AltaIR Capital. The funding will be used to further develop market-leading AI agents, partner with more enterprises worldwide and transform global sales processes. Call centers are a $29B market, with global enterprises still seeing telesales as a powerful part of their business strategy. Voice adds a personal touch to the sales process, builds trust with consumers, and allows complex sales interactions to move forward quickly and in real-time. However, call centres are also plagued by high levels of staff turnover and burnout, training cycles are long, and there is a lack of multilingual facilities for global companies. While conversational AI companies have disrupted customer service over recent years, automating and enhancing enterprises' interactions with customers, the sales automation market has lagged behind. This delay is due to the fact that, until recently, replicating the natural flow of human agents in conversations was unattainable. People are twice as likely to trust a human voice over an AI voice. In addition, artificial voice technology is not designed for complex sales conversations and is likely to be detected over the course of a minutes-long phone call - jeopardizing deals and creating a barrier to AI-enabled efficiency. Today, thanks to advancements in LLMs and voice models, this has changed. With a 1% detection rate and the ability to handle 100 simultaneous phone lines at peak hours, is the first company to overcome the challenges associated with sales automation and offer AI voice agents that can close sales over the phone. fully autonomous voice agents are able to handle a company's entire telesales cycle at scale, processing 10,000 leads daily to make calls, follow-ups, callbacks and close deals. While less than 10% of human call centre agents reach proficiency in under two months, voice agents are ready to engage leads after just two weeks of training on sales calls and scripts. As a result, companies using voice agents see a 30% cost-efficiency increase versus call centres. Its voice agents are also multilingual, capable of handling sales conversations in US and UK English, Spanish (including Mexican Spanish), Portuguese (including Brazilian Portuguese), French and German. was founded in 2023 by Sergey Shalaev, an AI and ML entrepreneur with more than 12 years experience and expertise in recommendation services, advertising technologies, and MedTech.

We have already seamlessly integrated our agents into 20 partners' sales channels, and are delighted to announce this seed funding led by Accel to help us collaborate with more businesses and take phone sales into the age of AI.' Zhenya Loginov, partner at Accel, said: 'When we first met Sergey and the team, we were blown away by the AI voice agents' human-like attributes and ability to not only handle complex conversations, but also close deals on the spot. technology has the potential to completely revolutionize the telesales market, with the team using AI to redefine sales automation from scratch. The team is already delivering on their aim to boost sales revenue with AI, with impressively low detection rates, and their product scalable by design.
