Latest Acquisitions by Sierra

Takeoff
Receptive AI
Description
Takeoff is a company building artificial intelligence agents intended for extended operational tasks.
Receptive AI is a United States start-up that built voice agent technology, founded by the engineers Ajeet Grewal and Venu Satuluri. The founders were described by Sierra as exceptional technologists doing pioneering work in voice agents, software that holds spoken conversations with customers over the phone. Its voice technology was integrated into Sierra's platform before the acquisition, allowing companies to build an AI agent once and deploy it across chat and voice channels with a consistent brand tone. Sierra said voice had become its biggest channel within months of launch, which made the voice capability strategic to its product. The business was acquired in March 2025 and its founders joined Sierra to work on voice agents inside Sierra.
