We're changing how revenue teams work

Needle is a proactive agent platform for revenue teams. We started as an automation company, and we're now pointing that foundation at a bigger job: taking the busywork off reps so they can spend their time where deals are actually won.

Our story

  1. The itch

    Onur grew up in hustle culture. Building has been in his blood his whole life. After a stint at fast-growing scale-ups, he set his sights on starting a company of his own.

  2. New horizons

    Jan left his job in Zurich and moved to Berlin in search of something bigger. The two met in Berlin, and the spark was immediate.

  3. Late 2024

    Needle was founded in the living room of Onur’s apartment: two founders, a whiteboard, a couch, and a lot of conviction.

  4. Today

    Since then we’ve pivoted twice, raised our seed round, grew our team, and sharpened our focus on one thing: helping revenue teams adopt AI.

The Needlers

We’re a sharp, tight-knit team building out of Berlin, Germany, shipping cutting-edge AI to bring the latest capabilities to modern revenue teams.
