trumpet

Pre Seed Round in 2022
Trumpet is an innovative online platform designed to streamline the sales process for B2B companies. It enables sales teams to create personalized, collaborative, and trackable sales presentations, referred to as "sales pods," in a matter of minutes. By integrating features reminiscent of Squarespace, Canva, and Slack, trumpet allows users to maintain a centralized content hub where they can update materials and access high-performing templates powered by AI. The platform includes advanced analytics to monitor engagement, such as when pods are opened and shared, and offers in-pod chat functionality to facilitate ongoing communication with prospects, eliminating the need for cumbersome email threads. Launched in early 2022 by Horseplay Ventures founders Nick Telson and Andrew Webster, along with sales expert Rory Sadler, trumpet arose from the founders' recognition of the inefficiencies salespeople face in preparing personalized sales decks. The solution aims to enhance the entire B2B sales cycle from initial pitch to onboarding, ultimately enabling sales teams to close deals more efficiently.

Mistho

Seed Round in 2022
mistho.io offers the first open payroll API for Europe, that enables consumers to easily access and share their salary and employment information with third parties such as banks, insurance companies, lenders and others at the click of a button. Our goal is to help businesses build the best consumer experiences in the fintech world that require income information. As a first step, we are now enabling businesses to easily integrate the Mistho app into their existing flow for income verification. Remember the last time you searched for a flat to rent, wanted to lease a car or applied for a loan? At some point during your search you were asked to share your last three months of payslips. You probably had to upload them to a platform or send them via e-mail to your agent. In some cases, you might even have needed to ask your HR department to help you out. Mistho helps exactly here - by offering a digital, directly embedded income verification tool that asks the end consumer to do no more than log in to their payroll portal.
