There is a quiet tax inside every sales org. It hides in inboxes, calendars, half-filled CRMs, and that one spreadsheet nobody claims but everybody uses. It is the cost of knowing people but not knowing how to use what you know. In 2021, KnowledgeNet.ai decided that was a problem worth solving and built a machine to remember what companies forget. Not memory for nostalgia. Memory for revenue.
From Frederick, Maryland, with a West Coast footprint in Mountain View, KnowledgeNet.ai has been wiring together the most undervalued asset on every balance sheet: relationships. Not vibes. Not gut instinct dressed up as strategy. Data. Their AI-powered platform, AI Engage™, turns everyday corporate interactions into outbound intelligence that moves revenue. Emails, calendars, CRM records, and the quiet signals buried in the noise connect into a 360-degree view that shows sales teams where the warm path lives and who is already closer to the deal than they think.
TEDCO stepped in with a $500K Venture Funds investment. State-backed capital is not chasing hype cycles. It is backing infrastructure. This is Maryland planting a flag in the AI spine of the region and reinforcing that execution beats theatrics.
Credit where it is due. Mehdi Tehranchi, Co-Founder and CEO, has scaled before, growing a prior enterprise software company from 3 people to 300 and closing a 9-figure exit to Nuance. Rachid Sijelmassi, Co-Founder and Head of Engineering, builds the engine so the signal stays clean inside complex enterprise environments. Nick Caruso, Co-Founder and CRO, translates intelligence into closed revenue. That trio understands a simple truth: revenue is math, memory, and momentum executed without ego.
AI Engage™ is not another dashboard begging for attention. It is an intelligence layer that mines relationship paths, surfaces buyer intent, and keeps the pipeline qualified without asking reps to become data janitors. It helps teams reclaim hours and redirect them toward conversations that convert. In a market flooded with automation theater, precision stands out.
TEDCO’s investment accelerates product innovation and deepens integrations into the systems companies already use. No rip-and-replace fantasy. Just sharper execution embedded into the workflows that drive revenue.
For B2B teams navigating complex sales cycles, the message is straightforward. Your network is already talking. The question is whether you can hear it clearly enough to act. KnowledgeNet.ai is betting that companies who connect knowledge capital to execution will not just fill pipeline. They will control it.
