AI-native sales, marketing, and CRM startups have raised $3.7 billion globally through May 2026, with a majority of investment in these categories now flowing to companies in Crunchbase AI-related categories. Notable rounds include Rox AI ($1.2B valuation for autonomous sales agents), Actively ($45M Series B for agentic GTM), and Netomi ($110M for agentic customer experience). The capital concentration signals that investors see traditional CRM/sales SaaS as the most immediately replaceable category.
