Vieu, a Seattle-based startup founded by former Microsoft executives, aims to revolutionize enterprise sales by eliminating cold outreach. Leveraging data analysis, Vieu’s platform generates warm introductions, connecting sales teams to qualified prospects.

Founded in 2022, Vieu has secured an $11 million seed investment round led by Bellevue-based Trilogy Equity Partners. CEO Samir Manjure emphasizes the inefficacy of cold outreach techniques amidst the saturation of spam, citing the proliferation of generative AI.

Vieu’s technology aggregates data from various sources to construct a “business graph,” identifying individuals within target accounts with the highest potential for successful conversions. Upon inputting target account information, the platform automatically presents potential connections within a user’s network.

Furthermore, Vieu provides customized guidance on sales strategies tailored to specific prospects, analyzing company data, event attendance, SEC filings, and other relevant information. The company’s revenue has tripled within the past year, and its customer base includes notable enterprises like Hyperproof, Rubrik, and HP Enterprise.

Manjure highlights the timeliness and relevance of Vieu’s solution in the current market landscape. The company has plans to expand its headcount by 100% over the next year and envisions a future where it transcends B2B sales, becoming a hub for business networking.

Prior to founding Vieu, Manjure held leadership positions at Microsoft for over 17 years and founded KenSci, a healthcare data analysis company. CTO Simon Skaria also spent over 16 years at Microsoft, specializing in SQL, AI, and mixed reality technologies.
