Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Throxy is a managed outbound sales provider for B2B software companies selling into traditional sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, construction, supply chain, healthcare, education and finance. Rather than supplying a self-serve tool, the company designs and operates the client's entire outbound motion: mapping the addressable market with proprietary scraping and data tooling, building custom lead databases, scoring prospects against the client's ideal customer profile, writing personalised email sequences, managing email deliverability infrastructure (domains, warmup, inboxes), handling replies, and booking qualified meetings directly into client sales calendars.

The service pairs vertical AI agents with human staff. AI is used for data work — database construction, lead scoring and personalisation at scale — while human SDRs conduct cold calls and email conversations. Clients define their ICP and target meeting volume, review qualified leads, and approve which meetings reach their calendars. Throxy's premise is that generic outbound automation and data providers such as Clay, Apollo and ZoomInfo cover only part of the market because decision-makers in legacy industries are frequently absent from LinkedIn and web profiles.

The company reports a team of 55 across London and Cape Town, an average of 8-12 qualified meetings per client per month, and $1.5 million in annual recurring revenue as of September 2025.

Founding story

Throxy was founded in 2023 by Pablo Jiménez de Parga Ramos, Bergen Merey and Arnau Ayerbe Garcia. Pablo, a UCL alumnus of the MSc Bioscience Entrepreneurship programme, spent four years in enterprise sales and concluded that existing prospecting systems were broken, citing estimates that around 65% of sales teams' time is spent on activities other than selling. Bergen had built an online business from age 14, and Arnau worked on early GPT-2 and BERT systems at JP Morgan and leads AI and product.

Business model

Throxy sells a done-for-you outbound service rather than software seats: it builds and runs the outbound system on the client's behalf, replacing internal SDR hiring and multi-tool stacks. Coverage reports a pay-per-meeting arrangement in which clients pay when meetings are delivered.

Revenue is recurring from managed outbound engagements, with press coverage describing a model where clients only pay when meetings are delivered. Reported ARR was $1.5 million as of September 2025.

Traction

As of September 2025 Throxy reported $1.5 million in annual recurring revenue and a team of 55 across London and Cape Town, up from a core team of three at the time of the seed round reporting. Clients average 8-12 qualified meetings per month, with some seeing 20 or more in their first weeks after cold calling was added. Manufacturing software provider Imnoo is cited as a client receiving three to five qualified meetings per week, and clients are reported to have seen positive reply rates as high as 84% and time savings of more than 15 hours per week.

Latest developments

In September 2025 Throxy announced a $6.2 million seed round led by Base10 Partners with participation from Y Combinator, following its graduation from Y Combinator's Spring 2025 batch. The company said it would use the capital to expand its team nearly fivefold and accelerate growth in the UK and US. It has also expanded into human-led cold calling as a second channel alongside email.

Market position

Throxy positions itself as an execution layer for outbound rather than an AI SDR software product, targeting the segment of the market that generic automation tools address poorly. Its investor describes it as purpose-built for sectors that mainstream sales software overlooks; competing approaches cited include Clay, Apollo, ZoomInfo and Instantly, as well as conventional outbound agencies and in-house SDR teams.

The company differentiates on vertical specialisation and a hybrid model: AI handles data and personalisation while humans conduct calls and relationship-building, in contrast to fully automated AI SDR products. It also emphasises proprietary data coverage of buyers who are not visible on LinkedIn or web profiles, lead qualification before meetings reach the client's calendar, client approval over booked meetings, and a pay-per-meeting commercial structure.

Technology

Throxy uses proprietary scraping and data tooling to map a client's total addressable market and uncover niche-specific contact data, custom vertical AI agents to build databases, score leads against the ICP and personalise messaging at scale, and an email deliverability stack covering domains, warmup and inboxes. Human SDRs handle cold calls and conversations alongside the automated layer.

Go-to-market

Prospects are converted through an applied-for strategy call on the company website, supported by client case studies and testimonials. Growth channels include Y Combinator's network and launch platform, university and press coverage, and stated plans to accelerate growth across the UK and US following the seed round.

B2B software and technology companies — from industrial SaaS to fintech providers — that sell into traditional industries including manufacturing, logistics, construction, supply chain, healthcare, education and finance. Buyers are typically founders, CEOs, CROs and sales leaders.

Geography

Headquartered in London with a presence in San Francisco; operations staff are distributed across London and Cape Town, and job listings cover the UK and South Africa. Client campaigns include the DACH region, and growth plans focus on the UK and US.

History

Founded in 2023, the team was based in the Hatchery incubator programme at BaseKX, UCL's entrepreneurship hub in London, receiving mentorship and office space. Venrex was the first venture fund to back the company, in December 2023. In early 2025 Throxy joined Y Combinator's first Spring cohort (X25). In September 2025 it announced a $6.2 million seed round led by Base10 Partners with participation from Y Combinator, alongside plans to increase headcount roughly fivefold.
