# Aligned Funding: The B2B Sales AI Startup's $60M Series B Explained > Aligned, the Israeli B2B sales AI startup (not Aligned Data Centers), raised a $60M Series B led by PeakSpan Capital in July 2026. Here's the round, the investors, and what it's building. _[Wortins Blog](https://www.wortins.com/blog) · Published Wednesday, July 8, 2026_ **Aligned, the B2B sales AI startup, raised $60 million in a Series B round announced on July 1, 2026**, led by **PeakSpan Capital** with participation from existing backers **Hetz Ventures, JAL Ventures and NFX**. The raise brings Aligned's total funding to **$73.8 million** and is aimed at pushing the company from a "digital sales room" tool into what it calls the **agentic system of action for B2B sales**. Worth flagging upfront: this is not Aligned Data Centers, the physical infrastructure company. This Aligned is a software startup that builds AI tools for sales teams — a completely different business with a coincidentally identical name. ## What is Aligned? Aligned is an **AI deal workspace** for B2B sales — a shared, AI-native environment where sellers, buyers, and now AI agents collaborate to move enterprise deals from first contact to signed contract. The company pioneered the "digital sales room" category in **2021** and has since expanded that idea into a broader platform it calls the **AI Deal Brain**, which pulls context from CRMs, emails and sales calls to track a deal's full history automatically. The company was founded by **Gal Aga (CEO)**, **Gal Deitsch (CPO)** and **Yotam Sela (CTO)**, and is headquartered in **Tel Aviv, Israel**, with a presence in New York as well. Its pitch to sales teams is that most B2B deals die not from a bad product but from **execution chaos** — scattered emails, missed follow-ups, buyer-side stakeholders who never got looped in. Aligned's workspace is meant to be the single place a deal actually happens, replacing that mess with a structured, trackable environment both sides can see. The traction numbers back up the pitch: Aligned says its platform is used by **70,000 sellers and more than 1 million buyers** every month, with enterprise customers including **Deel, SimilarWeb and WordPress** reporting **30% faster sales cycles** and **15% higher win rates**. The company has also tripled its annual recurring revenue over the past 12 months and ranks as the **G2 category leader in Digital Sales Rooms** across SMB, mid-market and client-portal segments. ## The raise The headline numbers: - **Amount:** $60 million - **Round:** Series B - **Total funding to date:** $73.8 million - **Announced:** July 1, 2026 - **Lead investor:** PeakSpan Capital - **Valuation:** Not disclosed Aligned hasn't published a post-money valuation for this round, which is fairly common for growth-stage B2B SaaS companies that would rather let revenue growth speak for itself. What the company has been explicit about is the ARR trajectory — tripling in a year is the kind of growth rate that lets a Series B get done quickly and without much friction over price. ## Who invested in Aligned? **PeakSpan Capital** led the round. PeakSpan is a growth-equity firm that specializes in backing capital-efficient B2B SaaS companies once they've found product-market fit — a profile that fits Aligned's story of tripling ARR before raising a larger check. The round also saw continued participation from Aligned's existing investor base: - **Hetz Ventures** - **JAL Ventures** - **NFX** The fact that all three earlier backers returned for the Series B is itself a signal — insiders re-upping at a growth round usually means the company's internal numbers (retention, expansion revenue, sales cycle data) are strong enough to convince the people who already have the most visibility into them. ## What the money is for Aligned has laid out three specific priorities for the new capital: 1. **Building out agent-native deal execution.** The company is developing what it calls a **Seller Agent** and **Buyer Agent** — AI agents that act inside the deal workspace rather than just summarizing it, handling parts of deal execution with less manual back-and-forth from human reps. 2. **Moving upmarket.** That means deeper integrations, stronger compliance and permissioning controls — the unglamorous but necessary infrastructure that lets a product graduate from mid-market accounts to enterprise procurement processes. 3. **Scaling go-to-market.** New hires across sales, marketing, customer success and revenue operations, to keep pace with the demand implied by that ARR growth. The through-line is a bet that "digital sales room" was just the first act. Aligned's stated ambition is to become the **system of action** for B2B sales — the layer where the deal actually runs — rather than a passive tool that sits alongside a CRM. ## Why it matters Aligned's round is a useful data point for a few reasons: 1. **Sales AI is graduating from copilots to agents.** The shift Aligned is describing — from a workspace that helps humans track a deal to agents that participate in executing it — mirrors a broader move across B2B software in 2026, where "AI features" are being replaced by AI that actually does parts of the job. 2. **Growth-stage B2B SaaS can still raise without hype-driven valuations.** No disclosed valuation, no frontier-model narrative — just tripled ARR and a growth-equity firm willing to lead. That's a different funding pattern than the mega-rounds dominating infrastructure and foundation-model headlines. 3. **Naming collisions are a real research hazard.** Anyone tracking "Aligned funding" needs to be careful — Aligned Data Centers is a large, separately funded infrastructure company, and conflating the two would misstate what either business does.
