Nooks secures $500M from General Catalyst and launches Node, an AI assistant for sales
Nooks announced on 4 November 2026 that it has secured $500 million in growth capital from General Catalyst's Customer Value Fund. The sales software company also introduced a Revenue Agent Platform and Node, an assistant that works open deals in the background and asks the rep to approve every message.
What Nooks announced
CEO Dan Lee set out three items in the Nooks announcement. The first is the Revenue Agent Platform, which runs Deal, Outbound, Expansion and Coaching Agents today. The second is Node, which Nooks calls the first AI personal assistant for sales. It remembers promises made on calls, drafts the follow up, flags a buying committee member who goes quiet and suggests a move when a deal slows. Each member of a deal team gets a Node, and reps approve every send.
The third item is the capital. Nooks says the fund invests in sales and marketing for companies with predictable customer economics and is repaid from the customer value that spending creates. Nooks plans to use it for new products, enterprise and international growth, and hiring, with more than 100 open roles. The share of returns, the schedule and any equity element are not stated in the announcement.
The figures are the company's own: more than 2,000 customers, growth of about three times a year, 135% net revenue retention, and 96% of agent drafted emails sent without edits. None has been independently verified.
What it means for B2B sales teams
The news is a large bet that follow ups and deal admin will move to agents. Lee argues the opposite of a job cut: "AI will make companies want more salespeople, not fewer." That is a vendor's view, and the debate over AI sales agents vs human reps is still open.
Node depends on calls, emails and CRM records, so its value follows the quality of that data. Availability in Europe is not stated. EU teams should check how call data is processed under GDPR, and US teams should check recording consent rules, which differ by state.
What to do now
- Ask for the price, the data location and the terms for call recordings before joining the waitlist.
- List the follow ups and CRM updates your reps miss today, and test any assistant against that list.
- Keep human approval on every external message until you have measured reply and meeting rates.
- Compare the cost of agents with people, using our guide to outsourced sales vs an in-house SDR team.
