Launch YC: telli ☎️ outbound call automation for B2C companies

‍

"Call Operations Simplified."

‍

TLDR: telli is building AI voice agents that convert leads into sales opportunities for B2C companies. For example, a leading home-buying platform is using telli to fully automate their pre-qualification.

‍

Founded by Finn zur Muehlen, Seb Hapte-Selassie & Philipp Baumanns‍‍‍‍‍‍

Finn & Philipp ran the contact center operations for Enpal’s ($2.4bn energy installer in Europe) heat pump unit. Seb studied computer CS at Stanford and built software at Pitch.

‍

Problem

Companies that sell complex products (e.g.  solar panels, mortgages, insurance) use warm outbound calls to drive sales conversion. Sales journeys with outbound calls perform MUCH better than online-only journeys!

However, managing these calls has been complex and expensive:

  • Companies reach <50% of their warm leads on the phone
  • No quantitative insight into what drives conversion/revenue from calls
  • High cost (~55 USD per connected call hour)
