Lyra Raises $6 Million Seed Funding for AI-Driven Sales Meeting Platform
Lyra, an AI-native meeting platform built specifically for sales teams, has closed a $6 million seed funding round, pushing its valuation to $40 million. The round was led by 468 Capital, with participation from Rebel Fund, Y Combinator, Transpose Ventures, and executives from companies like Ramp, Gusto, and Zapier.
Lyra changes the way sales calls happen by turning them into collaborative “deal rooms.” A real-time AI assistant pulls up relevant data and documents during calls, cutting down friction and speeding up the sales cycle. This makes the buying experience smoother and more efficient for both sellers and buyers.
Since its launch, Lyra’s growth has been striking. Revenue jumped from $20,000 to $700,000 in just six weeks, making it one of the fastest-growing startups in its Y Combinator batch. Founded by CEO Courtne Marland and CTO Henry Kwon, the platform now supports over 200 hours of sales calls every week.
The fresh funding will fuel improvements in Lyra’s AI features, help expand the team, and scale operations to match growing demand.

- Philipp Seifert, Partner at 468 Capital: “What impressed us most was how fast Lyra’s platform delivers value in live calls. It’s rare to see this level of engineering paired with such clear customer impact this early, and we have no doubt this team will continue to grow and innovate.”
For sales professionals looking to improve meeting efficiency and drive more deals to close, platforms like Lyra demonstrate how AI can be integrated seamlessly into everyday workflows.
