1mind, a pioneer in AI-led growth (AILG), today announced its public launch with $40 million in total funding, including a recently closed $30 million Series A round led by Battery Ventures. The round also saw participation from Primary Ventures, Wing Venture Capital, Operator Collective, Harmonic Growth Partners, Success Venture Partners, and prominent executives from Monday.com, ZoomInfo, Databricks, Box, Gong, Braze, and Verkada.
Founded by Amanda Kahlow, the CEO and founder of 6sense, 1mind is already working with an impressive portfolio of enterprise customers. The company plans to use the fresh capital to expand its technology team and scale its innovative AI-powered go-to-market (GTM) playbook, powered by Superhumans — digital teammates designed to combine human-like intelligence and empathy with deep product and customer understanding.
“Our Series A validates what our customers already know — the future of sales demands a new playbook,” said Kahlow. “With 6sense, I helped companies find buyers. With 1mind, I’m helping them close buyers. Our enterprise clients are already seeing significant results using our Superhumans to increase revenue, reduce costs, and deliver human-level engagement throughout the customer journey.”
AI-led growth for the modern sales era
1mind’s Superhumans are AI-powered digital teammates built on large language models (LLMs) and proprietary company data. These photorealistic, emotionally intelligent agents are designed to work 24/7, engaging buyers instantly and guiding them through every stage of the sales funnel — from initial inquiry to close and onboarding.
The AILG model helps businesses reduce GTM costs, streamline buyer interactions, and increase conversions by eliminating slow response times and fragmented handoffs. Studies show that 78% of buyers purchase from the first company that responds, and conversion rates rise by 391% when companies respond within a minute — performance benchmarks that 1mind aims to help businesses achieve.
Neeraj Agrawal, general partner at Battery Ventures, said, “Amanda built the foundation for 6sense, and now she’s closing the loop with 1mind. Superhumans directly tackle sales efficiency challenges, helping companies improve ROI and manage tighter budgets. We’re excited to partner with her again to shape the future of revenue operations.”
Proven traction with leading global brands
The 1mind platform is already being used by over 45 leading companies, including HubSpot, Nutanix, Coupa, ZoomInfo, Boston Dynamics, Seismic, ThoughtSpot, New Relic, Pavilion, and Tealium.
At HubSpot, a Superhuman named Fiona is transforming SMB sales engagement. Fiona autonomously pitches, scopes, prices, and converts customers — achieving an 88% engagement rate, 78% increase in free trials, and 25% boost in conversion to close. HubSpot now plans to expand Fiona’s role across sales, support, and learning experiences.
Other 1mind customers report 2x–5x conversion lift, reduced sales cycles by up to 20 days, and doubling annual contract values (ACV).
Building the future of intelligent growth
Sachin Bhat, 1mind’s co-founder and CTO, previously co-founded a Y Combinator-backed startup acquired by Rippling, where he led engineering for $100M+ ARR product lines and later directed the company’s AI infrastructure.
“The market has spoken — AI-led growth isn’t a trend; it’s a necessity,” said Kahlow. “Every business faces the challenge of growth. With 1mind, we’re proving that AI and humans can work together to grow smarter, faster, and more efficiently — without losing the human touch.”
