Short
Kulissa is AI voice sales roleplay for revenue and frontline teams. A rep speaks with a live AI buyer who interrupts and objects; the session is transcribed and scored against the customer's own methodology. Founded by four partners in Paris and Zurich; winner of the Cursor Track at the RAISE Summit Hackathon 2026.
Long
Kulissa builds readiness backstage. Named after the German Kulisse (the wings of the theatre), the product puts reps on live voice calls with AI buyers who interrupt, change temperature and refuse easy closes. Scenarios are generated from the customer's playbooks; every score quotes evidence from the transcript; managers see readiness by rep, cohort and assignment. Beyond sales, teams use it for support escalations, onboarding and management conversations. Languages at launch: English, French and German. The company is pre-seed and fully founder-owned, with operating locations in Paris and Zurich. The legal entity is still being incorporated. In 2026 Kulissa won the Cursor Track at the RAISE Summit Hackathon (EUR 20K).
