Artisan Ava

Artisan Ava is an AI BDR (Business Development Representative) built by Artisan, a YC-backed company that has raised $36.5M total ($11.5M seed + $25M Series A from Glade Brook Capital and HubSpot Ventures). Ava automates 80%+ of the outbound sales workflow -- from ICP definition and lead sourcing through personalised multi-channel outreach, reply handling, and meeting booking -- operating autonomously once configured. The platform centres on a 300M+ verified B2B contact database enriched with 22+ data sources including LinkedIn activity, funding signals, hiring signals, and technographic data. The Personalisation Waterfall generates unique emails per prospect based on their specific data profile -- not templates. Ava monitors intent signals like funding rounds, leadership hires, and job changes in real time, triggering outreach at the moment of highest receptivity. Pricing is fully custom -- Artisan does not publish rates and requires a sales conversation. The platform integrates with Salesforce and HubSpot with real-time CRM sync. Best suited to B2B sales teams that want a single autonomous platform handling the full outbound motion without stitching together separate prospecting, enrichment, and sequencing tools. Less suited to teams that need multichannel LinkedIn automation depth or teams wanting transparent self-serve pricing before engaging sales.
