Problem

The invisible tax

Between a business and its money there has always been a human who:

  • sleeps
  • gets tired
  • gets sick
  • quits
  • gets distracted
  • never replies

The money for that customer is already spent. Everything after that depends on whether someone replies.

You can only hire another one just like him. What would make him stronger?

The market sold an agent that talks about the product and asks questions. It has no pipeline and never gets to payment.

The sales rep is still there, and every change in the business sends you back to the integrator:

  • raised a price
  • changed the hours
  • dropped a service

The road to the money now has two tollgates.

Solution
SYNQ AI

We removed the middleman completely. Between you and your customer there is only the AI employee

An AI employee that walks the customer from “hi” to paid on its own.

You describe your business in plain words. It does the rest: runs the conversation, issues the invoice, takes the payment, grants access. No integrator, no developer.

What two people built in 5 months

The platform builds the AI employee itself. The owner simply describes the business in plain words, the way you would brief a new hire.

The owner talks “We build hangars and carports. Free site survey.” Plus a link to the website and the Instagram profile Takes 5-15 minutes
SYNQ AIPlatform setup
The result The AI employee sells with zero manual setup Replies to customers across six messaging apps and takes them to payment

SYNQ AI asks questions, reads what you send, builds the AI employee and tests it on a live dialogue in front of the owner.

Every new customer makes the AI employees sharper for everyone else.

Live dialogues train the SYNQ AI models. That is why the first money of the round goes into acquisition.

AI was let into them only this year

We get compared to a sales rep’s salary, not to the price of a chatbot.

Pro costs more per message because it runs on the stronger model.

Margin at full price 100-300%

Lower plans 100%, higher ones up to 300%: price grows faster than cost.

Economics at scale ~500% on the top plans after the first thousand customers

We keep entry cheap on purpose while we gather the first thousand.

Costs are calculated for the worst case: the customer burns the whole message limit and every Qoin.

Margin grows together with the base
At the thousandth customer four levers switch on.
Prices upThe product is proven, cheap entry is no longer needed.
Our own modelOur own compute makes every AI employee reply several times cheaper.
DataThe AI employee gets it right the first time and spends less per dialogue.
UpgradesThe customer’s business grows and they move to a bigger plan.

This is an antibiotic

Competitors speed up the sales team.We remove its cost.
Three proofsSee for yourself
Vitamin: competitors
They hand the rep a convenient tool. The rep still closes the deal.
  • Answers questions. The rep closes the deal
  • Saves the employee time, but you pay the same salary
  • The sales team stays on the cost line. Easy to postpone the purchase
Antibiotic: SYNQ AI
We take the rep’s job ourselves. From the first message to the payment the deal is closed by the AI employee.
  • Sells: handles objections, pushes for the close, issues the invoice, takes the payment
  • Replaces the rep instead of speeding them up: the salary leaves the cost line
  • Costs less than one rep and scales without hiring

The cost of selling leaks every day: the team, the salaries, the training. Competitors speed that team up. We remove it.

What we are raising

We reached paying customers and enterprise on our own money. The round accelerates what already works.

What do we need the investment for?

Four directions. Each one strengthens the next.

01 · Engineering
Speeding up the product
We hire two people and get the speed of ten.
In five months the two of us built a platform that already runs at customers. It goes this fast because of our AI pipeline: it carries a task from mockup to front end and back end. This is not vibe coding: underneath it sits solid knowledge of design, code and AI, so the product has no holes and the interface has no AI templates. The pipeline makes an engineer tens of times faster, which is why two more strong people are enough for us.
02 · Data
Building our own brain
Today we rent someone else’s intelligence. Tomorrow it will be ours.
The money goes into three lines: GPU compute for training and running the model, dialogue labeling by deal outcome, training our own model. The cost per reply drops several times over. It learns from live deals across six messaging apps: tested hypotheses, full labeling and an understanding of how to sell in a specific niche and a specific country. Data like that is not for sale and not copyable.
03 · Marketing
Scaling the channels
Paid traffic keeps getting more expensive. Our main channel is content. We know how to do that.
More customers, more data, a stronger model. The bulk of the money goes where our CEO is strongest: nine years of production, a thousand videos, channels with millions of subscribers. The growth scheme through an AI workflow is already built and tested on our own audience. The round puts it into production.
04 · Salespeople
Collecting selling experience
We bring in the best salespeople and put their experience into the AI employee.
The strongest sellers from different niches and countries train SYNQ AI on their own playbooks. What goes inside the AI employee is real selling experience, not invented scripts: how deals actually close in that niche and that country. After that they become ambassadors: whoever has an audience takes a cut of sales and brings in their own customers.
Where we are going

Soon an AI employee
in sales will be the norm

Working without online payments is no longer possible.

2015

Working without CRM is no longer possible.

2020

Working without an AI employee is no longer possi

now

We want that employee to be called SYNQ AI.

Now
First 200 customers by hand

We onboard them ourselves, through a demo on a call. This is where the product data and the first channels come from.

By the end of 2026
1000 paying customers

We open the door wider. Three channels at once: self-serve, enterprise, partners.

Next
Ready for an exit

An acquisition talk from a position of strength: the channels and the AI CRM are easier to buy than to catch up with.

The category is being bought up

Three deals in the niche in 18 months. Not one of the acquired companies takes a customer to payment.

$3.6B
Intercom · Fin
acquired by Salesforce, 2026

Support AI. $0.99 per reply plus a per-seat fee. It cannot sell.

$2.85B
Moveworks
acquired by ServiceNow, 2025

AI for your own staff: IT and HR inside the company. From $50K a year. It works inward, not toward the customer.

$955M
Cognigy
acquired by NiCE, 2025

Contact center bots. From $115K a year, and you need your own developers. The bot answers, it does not sell.

The buyers are already here. Three types of players are consolidating the category
Messaging commerce and broadcast platforms
Gupshup, Infobip, Sinch, Bird
CX platforms
Zendesk, NiCE, Genesys
Sales-engagement
Salesloft, Apollo, Gong

Salesforce, HubSpot, Meta and Telegram are aiming here too, but as big corporations they move slowly. That plays into our hands.

annual revenue is the valuation
Moveworks, at $100M+ in annual revenue, went to ServiceNow for $2.85B, and the market called that price a premium. So 20x here is the upper bound, not the middle.

The amounts are derived from the deals above. These are scenarios if the targets are hit, not a guarantee, but even the lower bound here is a strategic acquisition, not an acquihire.
