Dealism Launches the First AI Sales Agent Built on Vibe Selling - Changing How Sales Teams Build Trust and Close
Dealism, a Singapore-based startup, has raised US$15 million in angel funding led by GL Ventures with participation from HSG, Linear Capital, and other investors. The company is entering the global market with an AI Sales Agent that reads intent, emotion, and timing - then communicates like a skilled rep.
Founded by Leo Huan, former COO of Youzan Technology Limited and a former investor at Hillhouse Capital, Dealism blends large-scale sales experience with practical AI. At Youzan, Leo led a 3,000-person sales org and influenced more than $15B in GMV. That experience shows up in the product: it doesn't just reply - it persuades.
What makes Dealism different
- Vibe Selling at the core: The AI interprets psychology, buyer intent, and emotional cues so conversations feel natural and timely.
- Strategic by default: It adapts like a human rep and analyzes like a strategist to steer conversations to clear outcomes.
- Human voice, brand-consistent: Responses match your tone and values while staying context-aware and accurate.
- Multi-channel, zero chaos: Works across WhatsApp Web, Instagram DMs, and the Dealism mobile app, so you can handle high-value channels without missing a beat.
- Fast setup: Get operational in minutes with a few key inputs - no heavy onboarding or technical lift.
- Dynamic insights: Pulls from live product info, brand messaging, and audience preferences so every reply builds credibility.
- Always learning: Trains on millions of real sales conversations and your company knowledge to keep improving over time.
How Vibe Selling works in real conversations
Dealism crafts responses that feel genuine, map to the buyer's needs, and keep momentum through the full cycle. It captures attention with clear messaging, builds trust with relevant solutions, handles objections thoughtfully, and helps the customer decide without pressure.
It analyzes both the live thread and related documents, then responds with timing and context in mind. Each message reflects your brand voice and adjusts to the situation - so it reads human, not scripted.
Channels and workflows that meet buyers where they are
Dealism currently supports WhatsApp Web, Instagram DMs, and the Dealism mobile app. If your team relies on WhatsApp for deals, this matters: the AI can engage, qualify, and follow up while keeping the tone professional and personable.
