We raised $27 million.
Not because we needed to. Not because we were burning cash.
We raised because we found the right partner in Updata Partners—one who sees what we see: that the way outbound has been done for the last decade is fundamentally broken, and that TitanX has already proven the fix.

The Problem We Solved
Here's what the market got wrong for years: they assumed the problem was volume—not enough dials, not enough emails, not enough activity.
So they built tools to help you do more. Parallel dialers to burn through lists faster. Automation to send more emails. More data to pour into the same broken funnel.
The result? 97% of cold calls still go to voicemail. Reps are more burned out than ever. Connect rates keep dropping. And the solution, apparently, is to dial even faster into the void.
That's not strategy. That's insanity dressed up as productivity.
We started with a different question: What if you knew who would actually answer before you ever hit dial?
What We Built
TitanX is the Phone Intent™ platform. We don't make your reps dial faster. We make every dial count.
Our scoring model—built on more than 10 billion analyzed data points—identifies which prospects in your target accounts have the behavioral propensity to pick up the phone. Not someday. Not maybe. The ones who actually answer cold calls.
Because here's what nobody else tells you: only about 20% of any market will ever answer an unknown number. The other 80% won’t—no matter how many times you call, how good your script is, or how fancy your dialer is.
Human behavior is predictable. And once you accept that, the entire game changes.
Teams using TitanX consistently hit 20-30% connect rates. That's 5-6x the industry average. Without adding headcount. Without ripping out their tech stack. Without burning through their TAM at warp speed.
What Our Customers Say
Our customers do the talking for us.
“We have quite literally doubled SDR production over the last six months, and I believe TitanX has played a huge role in that. This is no longer a nice to have. This is something you need to have.”
— Kevin “KD” Dorsey, CRO at Finally
“We felt the effects of TitanX instantaneously. Literally from the first list that we dialed, we saw a 5x increase in efficiency. I remember looking at the rep and saying: we've found it. We're basing the whole strategy around this going forward.”
— Sol Broady, Head of Corporate Development at Management Controls
“He came running into my office—he'd called 6 people and 4 answered. He said he'd never had that happen in his career. If TitanX disappeared tomorrow, there's really no going back.”
— Case Allin, VP Software Sales at Park Place Technologies
“We were one of the first to bet on TitanX, and I would absolutely do it again. If I had to choose between going parallel dialing or going the TitanX camp, I would choose TitanX all day long.”
— Zach Palmear, Director of Sales Development at Vanta
That's how we grew 250%+ year-over-year. Not with paid ads. Not with hype. With results that made customers want to tell everyone they knew.
What This Funding Means
The $27 million Series A, led by Updata Partners is all about acceleration.
We're going to expand our proprietary scoring platform. Deepen our integrations across outbound workflows. Build new products purpose-built for phone-led revenue teams. And yes—pursue strategic M&A that aligns with our vision.
As Braden Snyder, General Partner at Updata Partners, put it: “Creating a new category is rare—and even harder in a market where outbound teams are under real pressure. TitanX has purpose-built a software and data platform that addresses the core inefficiencies in outbound sales.”
The Mandate
Here's what's true in boardrooms and on sales floors everywhere right now: Scale growth without scaling headcount. Do more with less.
Most people hear that and think it's impossible. The math doesn't work. If reps are already maxed out, how do you 2x output without 2x people?
The answer isn't working harder. It's not “more activity.” It’s not a new dialer or another AI tool.
The answer is precision. And precision starts with knowing who will pick up the phone before you ever dial.
Welcome to the Phone Intent Era
If you're still playing the volume game—still burning through your TAM, still watching reps stare at voicemail all day, still hoping the next dialer or data vendor will change something—this is your invitation to try something different.
We don't ask you to rip and replace. We don't ask you to change your dialer, your data provider, or your tech stack. We ask you to run a pilot and watch what happens when your reps start connecting on 1 in 4 calls instead of 1 in 30.
If you're already a customer: thank you. You're the reason we're here. You bet on us early, told your peers, and helped us build something that actually works. This funding is as much yours as it is ours.
If you're watching from the sidelines: we get it. There's a lot of noise out there. A lot of promises. We're not asking you to believe us. We're asking you to test us.
Because once you see what happens when you stop dialing blind—when you start calling the 20% who actually pick up—there's no going back.
Welcome to the Phone Intent era.
