🎯 About Take2 AI

Take2 AI is an AI-powered job simulation platform for sales recruiting & training.

We help companies generate tailor-made simulations of real-world sales scenarios that vet job applicants for skills, behavioral attributes and culture fit. By leveraging generative AI, Take2 AI recreates company and role specific sales scenarios that not only provide high-signal performance data to employers, but also immerse job applicants in the role, leading to fewer mis-hires and reduced short-term attrition.

We are a team of Stanford GSB & Engineering alums with deep expertise in AI, a prior exit under our belt and experience building & scaling products at Microsoft.

We are backed by Reach Capital & SemperVirens VC, as well as additional Silicon-Valley based Venture funds. You can read about our fundraise announcement here.

Our advisory board is comprised of HR leaders from Fortune 500 companies such as Visa, Disney, HP & Google.

⚠️ The Problem

There are over 1.4M open sales roles in the U.S. each month, most of them are high-volume sales roles such as call center sales, field sales, inside sales and in-store sales.

These roles are extremely difficult to hire for:

  • Hard to infer skills & fit from resumes → Heavy reliance on interviews & gut feeling.
  • 100s of job applicants per role → Countless hours reviewing & interviewing job applicants.
  • Misalignment of job expectation → Mis-hires that churn shortly after being hired.

The result is very negative and costs companies billions of dollars each year - 1 in 3 salespeople churn each year, 3x more than any other occupation.

By leveraging generative AI, Take2 AI recreates company and role specific sales scenarios that not only immerse job applicants in the role, but also provide high-signal performance data to employers — a game changer for high-volume sales roles.

👁️ Long-term Vision

Sales recruiting is just our starting point. The infrastructure we are building – leveraging AI to develop real-world sales scenarios to assess skills & fit in the context of a specific role & company - allows us to expand to additional applications such as training, coaching and onboarding.

Our long-term vision is to become an end-to-end sales talent management platform that every sales leader will use to make the most of their sales teams.
