Backstory

Backstory (formerly People.ai) is the Revenue Answers Platform for GTM leaders. Revenue leaders ask the same questions every day: Is this deal real? Where's my risk? What do I focus on next? Backstory gives you straight answers - grounded in 100% of actual revenue activity, not CRM guesses. With more than a decade of training AI models on billions of sales interactions, Backstory connects every signal to the right accounts and opportunities and delivers answers where you already work - whether that's your CRM, Claude, Copilot, or other AI tools you already use.

Prelay

Prelay's Team Selling Platform helps companies simplify their complex deals and maximize their most valuable internal resources to drive revenue faster as a team. Too many revenue teams let static CRM files and legacy tooling suppress their selling potential. Without a purpose-built solution for managing complex deals, internal stakeholders resort to ad-hoc emails, chats, and docs, without any centralized tracking, oversight, or learnings. The result? Internal delays, blindspots, and deal slippage. Prelay conquers deal chaos with a purpose-built Team Selling Platform.
