The oversubscribed round includes angel investors such as Brian Shin, Kulveer Taggar, Cindy Bi (CapitalX), and Dave Messina (Pioneer Fund). Y Combinator, Lan Xuezhao (Basis Set Ventures), and General Catalyst Apex, also participated.

The company will use the seed funding to expand its team and invest in infrastructure to meet the strong demand for its AI-driven platform.

Founded in 2024 by One Chowdhury and Md Abdul Halim Rafi, Octolane provides an AI-native, self-driving CRM platform that automates sales actions and updates. The platform updates itself and takes action so that sales reps can spend less time on administrative tasks and more time closing deals.
