Rox raises $100M Series B at a $1.3B valuation and adds Databricks Ventures as an investor
Rox announced on 13 November 2026 a strategic investment from Databricks Ventures as part of a $100 million Series B at a $1.3 billion valuation. General Catalyst and March Capital co-led the round. Rox sells an AI revenue agent that researches accounts, qualifies leads and runs outreach from a company's own data.
What Rox announced
According to the Rox announcement, Databricks Ventures has invested in Rox as part of its Series B. Sequoia Capital, Factory and Prosperity7 Ventures also took part. Databricks has named Rox a Built-On Databricks partner, and Rox is listed on the Databricks Marketplace, so buyers can count Rox spending toward an existing Databricks commitment.
The product is one agent with four jobs: outbound outreach at scale, monitoring of strategic accounts for new buying signals, revenue reporting for executives, and cross sell and upsell work on existing customers. Rox says the agent reads CRM, product usage and engagement data where it already sits, under the customer's own access controls, and offers a two way Salesforce integration.
The performance figures are the company's own claims: annual recurring revenue up more than 10 times in a year, 702% net revenue retention with strategic and enterprise customers, and one IT services client with $330 million in qualified pipeline in 8 weeks. None has been independently verified.
What it means for B2B sales teams
Money keeps flowing into agents that do the research and first touch work of an SDR. CEO Ishan Mukherjee put the pitch simply: "Rox turns that data into revenue." Rox aims at the Global 2000, so smaller sellers should read this as a signal of direction, not as a tool built for them. The wider question of AI SDRs versus outsourced sales is still decided by results, not by funding.
For EU teams, the useful detail is that the agent works on data inside the customer's own platform. That helps with GDPR, but automated cold outreach still has to follow each country's consent rules. US teams should check CAN-SPAM and state rules before switching on large scale sending.
What to do now
- Ask any revenue agent vendor where your data is processed and stored before a pilot.
- Clean your CRM and usage data first; an agent built on bad records sends bad outreach.
- Keep a human check on every automated sequence until reply and meeting rates are measured.
- Compare the full cost of an agent with a managed B2B lead generation service before you commit budget.
