“Boosting Sales Efficiency: Raisinghani’s SaaS Entrepreneurship Secures $5.5M for Innovative AI Venture”

Manisha Raisinghani Sifthub Founder
SiftHub’s AI assistant is built on open-source large language models (LLMs), and is supported by retrieval augmented generation (RAG) technology, which uses additional data sources to fine-tune the quality of content generated by AI. All that eventually brought her focus to sales and presales teams. “Sales teams have a shadow team — a presales team or solutions engineers — and they are usually the unsung heroes of the organization. Sales and presales teams lack the necessary tooling to handle this new selling environment. We are excited to back the SiftHub team and be a part of their ambitious journey,” said Sanjay Nath, a partner at Blume Ventures.

Simply put, Tierra is enabling customers to order proteins online that can make anything from antibodies to growth factor for a food product. Its reagents are combined with the customer’s protein sequences, and put into a robotic platform to create the proteins. We profiled Tierra Biosciences in 2018 after it rebranded from Synvitrobio and raised $2.6 million in new financing. Prior to joining the company, Nemzek was chief commercial officer at Synthego Corp. where he led the commercial expansion and growth of its CRISPR genome engineering business. The round had participation from new and existing investors, including Prosus Ventures, In-Q-Tel (IQT), Hillspire, Freeflow Ventures, Creative Ventures and Social Capital.
