Why We Exist


Enterprise and mid-market sellers juggle fractured processes, mountains of data, and relentless pressure to persuade. With 700,000+ B2B reps in the U.S. alone, individual sellers are drowning in manual work. Salestools.io is changing that — 100×.


Our first AI employee, Olivia (SDR), already drives $10M in new ARR every month for customers by automating prospecting, research, outreach, and meeting booking. Backed by top investors, we’re scaling the platform into a full-stack roster of human-like digital workers.


(On a sidenote: yes, we’re VC-backed and growing fast.)
