# The Renaissance of Outbound Sales.
Humans and AI, side by side.
By FirstDegree
When we invested in Topo (YC W24), the vision was clear: outbound shouldn't require ten different tools glued together.
Today, Topo 2.0 brings that vision much closer.
One AI agent works alongside your sales team.
## What the agent does.
It builds lists, reaches out to prospects, follows up, and prioritizes the hottest opportunities based on live signals.
Less tooling. Less manual work. More selling.
This is what the next generation of sales teams will look like: humans and AI working side by side.
## Proud to be backing this team from day one.
Congrats to everyone at Topo.
Go take a look, you'll probably understand why we're so excited.
Capital is everywhere.
The right team at the right time isn't.
That's why we back brave beginnings.
