MaxIQ, formerly known as Gyaan AI, has secured $7.8 million in a seed funding round led by Dell Technologies Capital, with participation from Intel Capital.

The investment will help the company scale operations, accelerate product innovation, and expand its leadership team as it reshapes customer journey management for B2B SaaS enterprises.

Founded by Sonny Aulakh in 2022, MaxIQ provides an AI-powered Customer Journey Management platform that unifies sales, customer success, and revenue operations.

By integrating predictive analytics and agentic-driven workflow automation, MaxIQ enhances customer lifetime value and improves revenue forecasting accuracy.

The platform bridges customer acquisition and success through actionable insights and seamless collaboration, allowing enterprises to optimize revenue management across the entire customer lifecycle.

As part of its expansion, MaxIQ has appointed Matt Hickey as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Rob Sexton as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO).

Both executives bring leadership experience from Palo Alto Networks, EMC, and Securiti.ai, with a track record of scaling disruptive technologies such as Data Domain, XtremIO, and CloudGenix.

Founder Sonny Aulakh will continue driving product innovation and expanding market presence through strategic marketing initiatives.

“Today’s tools leave a critical gap between sales and customer success, resulting in misalignment, delays, and missed revenue opportunities,” said Matt Hickey, CEO of MaxIQ.
“MaxIQ solves this by unifying workflows and delivering AI-powered insights that enable revenue teams to operate in sync and drive faster value to customers. This funding marks a pivotal moment for MaxIQ as we accelerate from category pioneer to category leader.”

Chris Hillock, Investor at Dell Technologies Capital, emphasized the need for MaxIQ’s solution, stating that the complexities of modern B2B SaaS sales have left organizations struggling with fragmented data.

He noted that MaxIQ’s vision creates an opportunity for companies to harness information intelligently, streamlining productivity and maximizing value capture.
