Otta's take

Theo Margolius

COO of Otta

trumpet is challenging the traditional approach to sales and setting out to lead the digital transformation of the whole B2B sales cycle. This is very relevant right now, with it being predicted that 80% of sales interactions will take place digitally by 2025.

trumpet sets itself apart by providing companies with collaborative, auto-personalised microsites. This enables them to pull in a buyers branding, track the deal to drive timely outreach, centralise information in one space, and get visibility over where buyers are engaging in the journey.

5000+ companies are already using trumpet, including Oyster, Payfit and Figma. The company seems set to pave the way for the digital transformation of B2B sales.
