Yoodli
AI roleplay and communication coaching platform from Seattle, used for sales practice, partner certification, and interview prep. Yoodli raised a $40 million Series B led by WestBridge Capital in December 2025, at a valuation above $300 million.
Enablement teams that want reps and partners practicing realistic calls against their own playbook, with a cheap way for individuals to try it first.
Teams that need a native mobile app, or buyers who want call recording and deal analytics bundled with practice.
Verdict
Yoodli is an AI roleplay and coaching company based in Seattle, started in 2021 by a former Google X project lead and a former Apple engineer. Sales, partner, and customer teams use it to run practice conversations with AI buyers, get feedback on what they said and how they said it, and certify people on a demo or a pitch before they use it with customers. It stands out because the same product serves a single person preparing for an interview and an enterprise rolling out practice tied to its own methodology, so a team can trial it cheaply before it commits.

Review Excerpts
Excerpts from company materials and public coverage of Yoodli, plus representative buyer views drawn from public information. Paid reviews and pay-for-play sites were excluded.
“We revamped our entire demo workflow for all of our go-to-market teams. We really needed a way to get everybody to the same level of expertise to be able to go through it from start to finish.”
“What I liked about the Tutor is you’re doing learning and practice in tandem. The Tutor teaches them bit by bit, then they have a chance to roleplay at the same time and get direct feedback in that same conversation.”
“There is no dedicated mobile app, so field reps practice in a web browser.”
