Lyra Raises $6M to Build the World’s First AI-Native Meeting Platform for Sales Teams

Lyra, the world’s first AI-native meeting platform for sales teams, today announced a $6 million seed round at a $40 million valuation led by 468 Capital along with Rebel Fund, Y Combinator, Transpose Ventures and executives from Ramp, Gusto, and Zapier. Lyra’s AI-native platform turns every call into a real-time whiteboard and deal room, keeping the entire customer conversation in one place. This strong product-market-fit, cemented Lyra as one of the fastest-growing companies in its YC batch, growing revenue from $20K to $700K in revenue in six weeks.

Why Selling and Buying Enterprise Software Still Feels Broken

Sales and success teams still rely on disconnected tools and manual workflows that waste time, drop context, and lead to lost deals. Meanwhile, buyers are left digging through email threads and scattered decks just to evaluate a product. Traditional video platforms weren’t built to fix this, they’re passive and blind to what’s happening on the call. What’s missing is a live, intelligent layer between your business and the outside world, one that makes it easy for buyers to get answers and take action in the moment. Because when it’s easier to buy from you, more people will.

Lyra’s Solution: 4K Meeting Platform Powered by AI

Lyra turns every sales call into a live, collaborative deal room, no screenshares, no slide decks, just a dynamic whiteboard that updates in real time. Built on custom video infrastructure with 4K resolution, Lyra embeds a hidden AI agent that surfaces the right data, docs, and next steps without anyone knowing it’s there. Sales reps ramp in just two weeks instead of three months because Lyra’s AI brings up what’s relevant on the fly, no need to memorize every product detail. Already powering 200+ hours of calls each week, Lyra is trusted by teams at Helix, Relate, Context, Educate, and more.

“Companies miss out on billions in sales from dropped follow-ups and slow sales processes,” said Courtne Marland, Lyra’s CEO and co-founder. “Lyra functions as your invisible AI assistant on calls, detecting decisions, following up on tasks, and ensuring no prospect ever gets left behind in the busywork.”

Lyra was founded by Courtne Marland and Henry Kwon. Marland is a serial entrepreneur who built and sold his first e-commerce brands before age 17 and scaled a seven-figure marketing agency to acquisition, bringing product vision and go-to-market expertise. Kwon, a HackMIT 2024 award winner and full-stack developer, serves as CTO, architecting Lyra’s ultra-low-latency, browser-based platform and embedding generative AI integrations that power hundreds of weekly sales calls with millisecond-fast responsiveness.

“What impressed us most was how fast Lyra’s platform delivers value in live calls,” said Philipp Seifert, Partner at 468 Capital. “It’s rare to see this level of engineering paired with such clear customer impact this early, and we have no doubt this team will continue to grow and innovate.”
