Ren Systems has successfully raised $3.5 million in its latest financing round, led by JLL Spark Global Ventures, with additional support from Camber Creek, ZoomInfo, and Contour Ventures. This new funding will fuel the expansion of Ren’s AI-powered relationship intelligence technology, enhancing personalized deal-making capabilities for over 35,000 global businesses.
Ren Systems specializes in transforming the way sales and business development leaders approach relationship-building. Unlike traditional high-volume sales tools, Ren is designed for personalized, strategic outreach. Its platform automates research, meeting preparation, and outreach by integrating with CRM systems, Outlook, calendars, and iOS contacts to deliver timely, actionable insights.
The company will integrate its technology into ZoomInfo Copilot, broadening its reach across ZoomInfo’s extensive customer base. Ren’s AI platform provides valuable insights into when and why to engage with key contacts, helping dealmakers make more informed decisions.
JLL Spark, JLL’s venture arm, spearheaded the financing round and has been an early adopter of Ren’s technology, utilizing it to enhance client services and uncover new opportunities. Camber Creek’s participation highlights the growing importance of AI in optimizing real estate and business relationships.
Founded in 2019, Ren Systems aims to cut through the noise of information overload, providing businesses with critical insights to strengthen relationships and drive success.
