Rilla’s the leading virtual ridealong software for outside sales. Think home improvement, housebuilders, and other sales people who talk to customers face to face.
Sales reps talk, our mobile app records their conversations, and our AI automatically transcribes and analyses their conversations to help them improve their sales.
Our vision is to bring the power of conversation intelligence from the Zoom meeting and the call centre to the more than 10M sales people who work offline.
We are one of the fastest growing startups in the world right now and in history.
We’re backed by Crystal Huang of Google Ventures, and Byron Deeter (one of the best investors of all time) from Bessemer Venture Partners, the top Cloud investor in the world.

Our team is built with elite athletes from top universities across the world, former founders, and people who've demonstrated excellence in something demanding — banking, consulting, athletics, startups, coaching, anywhere grit and performance matter.
