Naoma Secures $440k Pre-Seed Funding for AI Video Sales Agent

Every sales deck says speed matters. Every founder nods. Then the buyer lands on your site at 11:47 PM, curious, qualified, and gone by midnight because no one was there to talk back. That gap between intent and interaction is where deals go to die quietly. Naoma AI exists in that gap, staring at it like a problem that got way too comfortable being ignored, then deciding to do something impolite about it.

Naoma AI just closed a $440K pre-seed round led by ULTRA.VC, with Sparkle Ventures and a lineup of angel investors stepping in early. That number is modest if you read funding headlines for dopamine. It is serious if you understand leverage. This is the first disclosed round. No legacy baggage. No nostalgia roadmap. Just capital aligned with velocity, backed by people who know how early-stage pressure sharpens a product instead of bloating it.

Dmitry Zakharov has been here before. Serial IT entrepreneur, 1 clean exit, and enough scar tissue to know that selling software is not about charisma, it is about timing. David Klassen, Co-Founder & CTO, built the engine, turning live product environments into conversational demos that actually respond. Dima Ivanouski, Co-Founder & CRO, brings the muscle memory of scaling PandaDoc to unicorn status, where demos are not theater, they are revenue infrastructure.

The product is an AI video sales agent that runs personalized B2B demos 24/7, in any language, inside the product itself. Not prerecorded. Not passive. It qualifies leads, handles objections, logs to CRM, and shows up instantly while human-led demos are still scheduling coffee. 10 seconds instead of a day. Roughly $10 per engaged demo instead of triple digits. That math is not clever marketing, it is operational gravity.

The quiet stat that matters is that up to 98% of B2B visitors never reach a demo, even though most buyers want self-serve now, not later. Naoma AI already closed its first AI-only sale and signed LOIs before launch because the market does not need convincing, it needs access. This round is fuel for building where attention actually lives, and for founders who understand that sales is a system, not a personality test, the implications keep unfolding the longer you sit with it.
