<p>After bootstrapping Notified for nine years and selling it to American giant Apollo Global Management in 2019, Marcus Norrving and Kristopher Stenkula are back. This time, they’re betting on AI with their new startup, <a href="https://garba.ai/">Garba</a>.</p>



<p>Garba is an AI-driven startup, that proactively extract hidden value from sales calls, auto-drafting emails, enriching CRM records, detecting churn risks, and providing actionable coaching insights to boost sales team&#8217;s effectiveness. From <a href="https://oresundstartups.com/garba-emerges-from-stealth-wants-to-transform-customer-conversations-into-actionable-intelligence/">emerging from stealth</a> in may the startup has quickly gained traction, generating € 270.000 (SEK 3 million) in revenue already.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
<p>&#8220;Now our AI platform is powering real sales teams and growing faster than we imagined,&#8221;</p>
<cite>Kristopher Stenkula-Wilbur said recently</cite></blockquote>



<p>To accelerate they have raised capital from some of Sweden’s most successful SaaS founders: Mathias Thulin (Getaccept), Johan Hjelte and Johan Bäckarlin (Voyado), and Niklas Mollin (Inriver). The funding is € 410.000 (SEK 4.5 million) in total. Amongst the investors is also <a href="https://yeos.ventures/">YEoS Ventures</a>, a collection of over 100 entrepreneurs investing in promising startups, who discovered Garba thru the live pitch event held at Minc recently.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
<p>&#8220;The momentum is real, and we’re just warming up,&#8221;</p>
<cite>Kristopher Stenkula-Wilbur said about the funding</cite></blockquote>

<p><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://garba.ai/" target="_blank">Garba</a>, Malmö-based AI-powered sales intelligence platform founded last year, has emerged from stealth mode. </p>



<p>Founded by Kristopher Stenkula-Wilbur and Marcus Norrving, who previously founded Notified, a startup acquired by West Corporation in 2019, Garba aims to revolutionize how sales and customer success teams leverage customer insights to drive their go-to-market strategies.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
<p>&#8220;After months of refining with early adopters, we&#8217;re officially launching today. But already, leading sales and CS teams—from Helsinki to São Paulo—rely on Garba daily.&#8221;</p>
<cite>says Kristopher Stenkula-Wilbur </cite></blockquote>



<p><strong>Addressing a Critical Need</strong></p>



<p>The inspiration for Garba came from the challenges faced by the Notified team in maintaining a customer-centric approach. Despite setting up structured sales processes, the team struggled with manually sifting through meeting notes to understand product reception, competitive positioning, and missed signals. </p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
<p>&#8220;When we built Notified, we prided ourselves on being customer-centric. But staying truly close to the customer was harder than it should’ve been. We set up structured sales processes — and spent endless hours trying to get the team to actually follow them. We manually combed through meeting notes, trying to understand how our product landed, how competitors were framed, and what signals we were missing. It was messy, reactive, and far from scalable.&#8221;</p>
<cite>says Kristopher Stenkula-Wilbur </cite></blockquote>



<p>But the startup addresses not just critical needs. Also launched is their <a href="https://www.teepublic.com/user/garba">Merch Store</a>, where you can buy merch inspired by their unique brand esthetics. </p>
