Basis Set

🎉 Today, I have very meaningful news! We're thrilled to announce that Momentum.io has closed a $13M Series A round led by FirstMark and Stage 2 Capital, with continued support from our fantastic seed investors, including Basis Set and Leadout Capital. This milestone is more than just money—it's validation. In 2024, excitement and validation are hard to come by, and it means a lot to us founders! The excitement and belief we received during this round will help us push harder than ever toward this incredible vision we’ve been lucky enough to identify. Momentum started at our kitchen tables during the pandemic. Fast-forward to today and we've built a platform that leverages AI and automation to transform how revenue teams leverage every customer email and call they take every day. From summarizing recorded calls to automatically identifying churn signals in the words of your own customers, our tools have helped companies like 1Password, Ramp, ZScaler, Yipitdata, Alation, Demandbase, and Owner.com achieve remarkable results. Building this with Ashley and Moiz has been so exhilarating. This is supposed to be hard, but it doesn’t feel like it most of the time. A special shoutout to Amish and Mandy for joining our board, as well as David and Anubhav, who are now part of this journey. Their expertise will be invaluable as we continue to grow. One last huge THANK YOU to our existing investors who have trusted us with their money and time. Particularly Lan, Sheila, Alison, Steve, and Francoise. Thank you for being part of our story. Here's to the future! 🚀 #SeriesA #FundingAnnouncement #AI #Automation #RevenueGrowth #CustomerIntelligence #GrowthMindset #Innovation #Startups

Today, we’re announcing a $65M strategic round in equity and debt from J.P. Morgan, Notable Capital and others, bringing our total funding to $252M! We believe our long-term thinking and emphasis on both “fin” and “tech” has been imperative to execute precisely above the chaos, close major partnerships, and onboard new customers. While we are very “tech” – pushing boundaries in AI and shipping velocity, headquartered in San Francisco, and backed by the best technologists in Silicon Valley (Sam Altman, Y Combinator, founders of OpenAI, DoorDash, Plaid, Dropbox, Unity, etc.) – partnering deeply with the largest bank in the world, J.P. Morgan, to gain expertise in compliance, risk, and distribution is a necessity to transition the $125T B2B economy online. By combining J.P. Morgan’s fortress balance sheet and depth of client relationships with Slope’s strengths in technology, underwriting and credit risk monitoring – we are a well-positioned partner to serve the world’s largest enterprises. We are hitting an exciting inflection point and hiring across all roles!
