Calgary-based Quack, a startup founded by former Klue sales reps, has secured $500,000 CAD in pre-seed funding to develop its AI-powered cold-calling platform.
The round was led by Metiquity Ventures, which contributed $400,000, alongside angel investors.
Solving the Cold Calling Bottleneck
Quack, co-founded by Taylor Del Giudice (CEO), Jacob DiCarlo (COO), and Amin Safavi (CTO), aims to:
- Sync call data with CRM platforms like HubSpot, Outreach, and SalesLoft.
- Reduce wait times by allowing sales reps to call up to four prospects simultaneously.
- Automate voicemail detection to skip unanswered calls faster.
