Venta AI Secures $2M to Launch Germany’s First Compliant AI Sales Employees

Venta AI Raises $2M to Build Germany’s First AI Sales Employees

Venta AI, a Munich-based startup, has secured $2 million in pre-seed funding to transform sales outreach in Germany. The company is creating AI sales employees focused on compliance with European and German data protection and competition laws.

Their platform combines high-quality data, specialized AI models, and integrated marketing channels—including postal mail—to help sales teams quickly identify promising leads and engage them with personalized outreach in minutes.

Localized AI for German Sales Teams

Lucas Spreiter, Co-Founder & CEO of Venta AI, highlights the importance of building AI that fits the German market. “You wouldn’t hire an English-speaking salesperson to sell to German customers—and the same principle applies to AI,” he said. The startup’s AI is trained on German language data and fully compliant with local regulations, unlike existing sales automation tools primarily built for English-speaking markets.

This local focus helps companies connect with customers in a way that respects cultural and legal standards.

Boosting Sales Efficiency with Compliance

Venta AI’s digital sales employees help businesses find new customers based on specific criteria and engage leads through channels that follow GDPR and ePrivacy laws. Hosting their platform entirely in European data centers ensures data security and compliance.

Clients such as UnternehmerTUM and ARNO Group already use Venta AI to automate cold outreach, saving hundreds of hours on research and preparation. This technology increases meeting bookings by around 30%, making it especially useful for activities like trade fairs and new business development.

Funding and Future Plans

The $2 million round was led by Gradient, with participation from Y Combinator, Orange Collective, Gaingels, and several business angels. Gradient’s partner Eylul Kayin emphasized the value of Venta AI’s regional approach, stating that understanding local buyer behavior and data standards is key to effective sales automation.

Venta AI plans to use the new funding to expand its AI employees’ capabilities. Beyond outreach campaigns, future versions will handle incoming requests, follow up on leads, and analyze CRM data to uncover the next best customers, allowing sales teams to focus more on face-to-face interactions.
