News Summary

Calgary-based startup Quack, led by former Klue sales representatives Taylor Del Giudice and Jacob DiCarlo, has raised $500,000 CAD in pre-seed funding to enhance its cold calling platform. The funding round was led by Metiquity Ventures, with contributions from undisclosed angel investors, bringing Quack’s total funding to $600,000. Quack aims to streamline the cold calling process by allowing users to contact multiple prospects simultaneously through parallel dialling and automated voicemail detection, significantly reducing the time spent on calls. The platform also integrates with CRM systems like HubSpot and SalesLoft to automate updates, making it easier for sales teams to manage their activities. Quack plans to use the new funds to further develop its product, incorporating artificial intelligence and improving analytics. The company, which currently serves hundreds of SDRs from companies such as Suzy and Moengage, also intends to expand its team and pursue SOC 2 compliance to attract larger enterprises.
