At Battery, we’ve spent two decades studying how go-to-market (GTM) teams evolve – from the rise of marketing automation with Marketo*, to the emergence of customer engagement platforms like Braze*, to modern revenue-intelligence tools like Gong* and Unify*. Each wave has fundamentally changed how companies grow.

Over the last year, that focus has deepened as we’ve studied how AI is impacting selling. We launched our Battery CRO Dinner Series, bringing together more than a hundred CROs to exchange best practices, and hosted another 125 CROs and revenue leaders at our 2025 Battery Kick-Off sales summit, organized by our Operating Partner Bill Binch, a former CRO himself. Across these conversations, one theme came through clearly:

Today’s buyers expect immediacy, precision, and personalization at a scale humans alone can’t deliver.

That theme is core to our newest investment. We’re thrilled to announce Battery is leading the Series A financing of 1mind, the company behind a new class of AI-powered GTM “Superhumans.”

Meet the GTM Superhuman

1mind builds photorealistic, intelligent AI teammates, or Superhumans, that engage, qualify, demo, and convert customers across web, in-app, email, and even live Zoom interactions. These agents have a face, a voice, and a deep understanding of their respective companies’ products and playbooks.

Modern buyers expect fast, self-serve, personalized experiences, not forms and multi-day handoffs. 1mind meets buyers on their terms, offering instant, relevant conversations any time, including 2 a.m. on a holiday. Superhumans remember every prior interaction: They pull the right case study instantly, handle objections with accuracy and empathy, and don’t exaggerate to get a deal over the line.

Superhumans take the first touch in parts of the funnel where no SDR ever reached: late-night traffic, free product tiers, and high-volume SMB segments that were previously too costly to serve. But many customers quickly find sales-adjacent use cases, like customer support and success. After all, a Superhuman’s knowledge isn’t limited to why a prospect should buy a product. They can also help customers realize maximum value post-purchase.

At HubSpot, 1mind’s Superhuman “Fiona” was deployed on its free SMB product – a part of the business with no human engagement. Fiona produced a +75% lift in free-trial signups, +25% lift in closed/won, and an 88% engagement rate. After seeing those results, HubSpot expanded Fiona’s footprint fivefold.

Across enterprise customers spanning B2B software and logistics, healthcare, and the public sector, 1mind’s Superhumans consistently outperform chatbots and traditional SDR benchmarks, cutting sales cycles from months to weeks.

You can talk to 1mind’s Superhuman on their site, and below are a few other customer Superhumans you can test out:

• Fiona, Hubspot’s Superhuman
• Bobbi, BostonDynamic’s Superhuman
• Quincy, Quickbase’s Superhuman

We’re teaming up again

This investment also marks a reunion. Founder & CEO Amanda Kahlow has spent her career reimagining how companies connect with buyers. She previously founded 6sense*, which pioneered account-based marketing and helped usher in a data-driven sales era. While building 6sense, she saw firsthand that finding buyers wasn’t the hard part – closing them efficiently was. That insight became the seed for 1mind. We first partnered with Amanda 12 years ago on the 6sense journey and we’re thrilled to be working together again.

To bring 1mind to life, Amanda partnered with Sachin Bhat, a former head of engineering at Rippling and a repeat founder himself. Together, we feel, they’ve assembled a team with rare depth – marketers who understand the GTM motion and engineers who know how to build agentic AI that operates in the real world.

Looking ahead

Today, 1mind’s Superhumans are driving millions in additional revenue across dozens of enterprise customers, with expansion into customer success and onboarding already underway. Tomorrow, we believe they’ll form the foundation of an entirely new GTM operating system – one where every company can deploy a personalized, perfectly trained digital teammate to engage buyers and accelerate growth across the entire customer lifecycle.

We’re proud to lead 1mind’s $30M Series A, partnering again with Amanda and the entire 1mind team as they build the future of intelligent, human-like GTM engagement.
