For most sales teams, the hardest part of closing a deal isn’t the pitch- it’s the admin. Data is spread across seven tools. CRM hygiene is an afterthought. 


And AI, when it’s used at all, is only as good as the mess it’s fed.


Chirp
is ready to flip that script. 


Built for salespeople who’d rather sell than update their CRM, Chirp is an AI agent that connects to your calendar, call recorder and emails - then tells you exactly what you need to know before a meeting, takes notes during, and updates your CRM after. No clicks required.


It’s not just smart. It’s agentic. 


With features in the works like auto-generating proposals or even sending follow-up gifts, this Summer’25 Accelerator startup is setting a new standard for how humans and AI collaborate across the sales funnel - and there’s no better team to solve the problem. 


At the heart of it is a team who knows the pain first-hand. Co-founder, Nick Armstrong, is a four-time founder who’s been doing founder-led sales for 20 years. From working on AI agents in Singapore to founding a company in anti-money laundering tech, his insight into siloed data and sales inefficiency runs deep - and he's ready to revolutionise how sales teams work.


And Chirp is moving fast - giving sales teams the tools to work smarter, faster and with far fewer headaches.


Since launching a private beta in November, they’ve onboarded users, evolved their UI from Web2 to generative, and zeroed in on one “hair on fire” problem: CRM updates.


In a world where 80% of the salesforce is Gen Z or Millennial, Chirp isn’t just updating an old interface. 


It’s redefining how the next generation works.
