MaxIQ, earlier Gyaan AI, announced it has raised $7.8 million in seed funding. The company’s seed round was led by Dell Technologies Capital, with participation from Intel Capital.
MaxIQ, a revenue AI platform that brings sales, said this investment will enable it to scale operations, accelerate product innovation, and expand its leadership team as it redefines the future of customer journey management for B2B SaaS enterprises.
Founded by Sonny Aulakh in 2022, MaxIQ is introducing a Customer Journey Management platform designed to help B2B SaaS companies drive sustainable growth by connecting customer acquisition processes — including deal qualification, inspection, and forecasting — with post-sales processes such as onboarding, adoption, and time-to-value delivery.
B2B SaaS companies face challenges due to the fragmentation across disconnected revenue tools and siloed processes at each stage of the customer journey. This fragmentation results in inaccurate forecasting, delayed time-to-value, and lost revenue opportunities.
Unlike traditional revenue intelligence tools that are rigid and lack actionable context, MaxIQ said it integrates predictive analytics and agentic-driven workflow automation to increase Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) and significantly enhance revenue forecasting accuracy.
The firm also appointed Matt Hickey as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Rob Sexton as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). Both bring leadership experience from Palo Alto Networks, EMC and most recently Securiti.ai. Rob and Matt’s leadership experience includes senior roles in technologies including Data Domain, XtremIO, and CloudGenix. Founder Aulakh will continue to expand MaxIQ’s market presence through strategic marketing initiatives.
“Today’s tools leave a critical gap between sales and customer success, resulting in misalignment, delays, and missed revenue opportunities,” said Matt Hickey, CEO of MaxIQ. “MaxIQ solves this by unifying workflows and delivering AI-powered insights that enable revenue teams to operate in sync and drive faster value to customers. This funding marks a pivotal moment for MaxIQ as we accelerate from category pioneer to category leader,” he added.
“The complexities of managing modern B2B SaaS sales from product-led growth to complicated enterprise campaigns across each stage of the customer lifecycle has organizations drowning in a sea of fragmented data,” said Chris Hillock, Investor, Dell Technologies Capital. “MaxIQ’s vision for unifying the entire customer journey is bold and creates an opportunity for companies to harness information intelligently to streamline organizational productivity and maximize value capture. We are thrilled to support the team as they drive this much-needed transformation.”
