The End of Software
Sales teams are buried under an avalanche of tools, with over half now aiming to reduce their tech stacks according to Salesforce’s latest State of Sales report. Only 30% of sales reps’ time is spent selling, with 70% lost to non-selling tasks like data entry and system management. 11x addresses this imbalance with digital workers that autonomously handle the workflows of traditional revenue teams.
Digital Workers, Not Software
The company’s first two digital workers have demonstrated remarkable results:
Alice, the world’s first AI SDR, manages campaigns, sources leads, and personalizes outreach, driving response rates 3x higher than traditional SDRs.
Jordan, a 24/7 multilingual phone rep, handles calls in over 30 languages, delivering up to 10x faster lead response times.
Now 11x has doubled down on delivering truly autonomous outcomes for customers by developing an entirely new version of Alice using the latest agentic AI research: Alice 2.0.
Alice 2.0 is fully autonomous, leverages first-party data, and learns from every interaction to improve over time.

Strategic Growth and Future Plans
Following a significant team expansion in the US after their Series A this September, 11x has acquired Opkit, an AI startup focused on developing healthcare solutions.

In the next year, 11x plans to launch multiple new AI agents while driving aggressive revenue growth and key hiring initiatives in San Francisco.
“We’re seeking bold innovators ready to shape the future of AI,” explained CEO and Founder Hasan Sukkar. “Each new digital worker will replace the work of 11 full-time employees, managing an even broader range of GTM tasks from lead management to pipeline analytics.”
