Navigating New Frontiers: Prophetic’s Dream Exploration and Valley’s AI-driven Sales Revolution.
In an era marked by rapid technological advancements and shifting market dynamics, OSV’s investment strategy shines a light on two startups poised to redefine their respective domains: Prophetic and Valley. While Prophetic ventures into the depths of human consciousness through lucid dreaming, Valley aims to transform the B2B sales landscape with its AI-driven approach. Let’s explore how these startups are setting new benchmarks in innovation.
Prophetic: Unveiling the Future of Dreaming
At the heart of OSV’s recent portfolio is Prophetic, a company that marries the art of dreaming with cutting-edge technology. Co-founded by Eric Wollberg (CEO) and Wesley Louis Berry III (CTO), Prophetic is pioneering the Halo, a device designed to usher in a new era of lucid dreaming. This isn’t just about exploring the dream world; it’s about unlocking a new dimension of creativity and productivity.
The Halo’s inception springs from a blend of ultrasound technology and machine learning, crafted from extensive EEG and fMRI data. This innovative approach aims to detect and stabilize lucid dreams during REM sleep, offering users an unprecedented gateway to harness their subconscious creativity. Imagine crafting art, solving complex problems, or exploring new concepts—all while asleep.
Prophetic’s journey began with a deep dive into the mysteries of consciousness and lucid dreaming. Eric’s first encounter with lucid dreaming at age 12 marked a turning point, igniting a passion for exploring the bounds of reality. Wesley’s background in startups and emerging tech, coupled with his fascination for the neural underpinnings of lucid dreams, provided the perfect complement. Together, they embarked on this ambitious project, driven by a shared vision to democratize access to lucid dreaming.
The Halo, designed in collaboration with Afshin Mehin’s Card79 (design firm that did the industrial design and built hardware for Neuralink’s N1 device), is more than a piece of technology; it’s a portal to new realms of exploration and discovery. Through focused ultrasound and machine learning, the device aims to unlock the potential of the human mind, offering a glimpse into what the future holds for consciousness exploration.
Prophetic has aligned itself with multiple strategic investors such as a16z’s Scout Fund, BoxGroup, Spacecadet Ventures, and Escape Velocity to help it achieve its moonshot goal of allowing anyone to lucid dream.
Prophetic’s mission extends beyond individual exploration. The company envisions a society where lucid dreaming is commonplace, where people can share and discuss their dream experiences freely. This vision heralds a cultural shift, likening the advent of lucid dreaming to the mainstream acceptance of practices like yoga and meditation.
Prophetic is currently preparing to launch its Beta Program and the excitement is palpable as the first 50 participants out of the nearly 4,000 people have been selected for brain scanning on March 1st. They also recently introduced MORPHEUS-1, the first multi-modal generative ultrasonic transformer designed to induce and stabilize lucid dreams, marking a breakthrough in their mission to enhance human consciousness. Engineered with 103 million parameters and trained on 8 GPUs, MORPHEUS-1 leverages transcranial focused ultrasound to pioneer dream induction and consciousness exploration.
Prophetic is currently busy in the midst of raising a seed round as they ramp up their capabilities to launch a production version of the Halo in the coming year.
Valley: Appointment Setting on Autopilot
In the wake of the COVID era, the B2B sales world has witnessed a seismic shift. The traditional revenue playbook, with its reliance on templated messages and a ‘spray and pray’ approach, has become obsolete, giving rise to a new era of personalization, relevance, and automation. Enter Valley, an AI-powered Sales Development Representative that automates the end-to-end appointment-setting process for B2B companies, offering a solution at merely a fraction of the cost of human intervention.
Valley represents a paradigm shift in outbound appointment setting, enabling companies to scale their processes more efficiently and effectively than ever before. With a focus on hyper-personalized outreach, response management, and scheduling capabilities, Valley ensures that every representative becomes your best representative.
Backed by notable investors such as Antler, Launch.co, General Catalyst, Transform VC, and ID8 Investments, Valley is a pre-seed company on the brink of revolutionizing B2B sales. The platform not only promises to slash the cost per appointment by over 70% but also to reclaim over 10 hours per week for individuals by automating the entire booking experience—from initial contact to scheduled call.
Valley’s innovative approach includes signal-based sequencing, which triggers follow-ups based on specific customer actions, such as website visits. This strategy not only reduces overall spam but also allows sales professionals to focus on what they do best—closing deals on calls—by automating the preliminary email communication.
The upcoming launch of Valley v2 on April 15th marks a significant milestone, featuring an end-to-end rewrite and the transition out of beta. Valley v2 will come with a new tool called Valley Studio which will offer users the ability to create their ideal seller within the tool, enabling them to extract tone data from their emails, upload presets and transcripts, and embed their sales playbooks directly into Valley’s AI.
Valley is currently preparing to raise another round of funding coming from a strong year debuting their initial product. Stay tuned for more updates from them!
