Top Tech Startups in San Francisco Bay Area in 2024

Dryft is a San Francisco-based startup backed by Neo, with recent funding from General Catalyst and the support of exceptional mentors and angels, including the former COO of Stripe, the co-founder & CTO of Beacon & Gavel, and technical leaders from Amazon, OpenAI, and Apple. Dryft is on a mission to automate the entire operational planning in industrial companies (e.g. inventory planning, procurement, quoting, pricing). By leveraging AI agents and our own custom models, we’re building a new category of software that makes autonomous operational decisions, replacing legacy systems and enabling industries to move faster—whether it’s building cars or responding to health crises. Our first product tackles the massive 400bn USD/year inventory carrying cost problem of US manufacturers & wholesalers. We are already working with multiple world-leading machine manufacturers (e.g. $500M revenue) on this.

SalesRevv is revolutionizing how membership-based businesses, specifically in the health and wellness sector, manage and grow their sales. Our AI-powered assistants handle everything from converting leads to retaining members, allowing business owners to focus on delivering top-notch services. Business owners can seamlessly monitor activity from our AI-powered assistants and manage their business via our intuitive CRM interface. We solve a major labor force issue by providing small businesses with affordable, high-quality sales talent powered by AI. SalesRevv was launched in April 2024 and quickly onboarded some of the biggest brands with great initial success. We are now looking to scale on all fronts to meet the market demand and capitalize on this opportunity. As a team, we are repeat tech & sales founders with successful exits, working with some of the most prominent brands within the health and wellness space. We have experienced the journey of a small startup to scale very closely. Because of our passion for helping businesses and creating great products, we started a similar journey again, backed by prominent VC firms.
