Nooks Secures $43 Million Series B: A TJHSST Alum’s Vision Revolutionizes Remote Work

Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (TJHSST) continues to be a launchpad for innovators who shape industries. Rohan Suri, a TJHSST alumnus and computer science major at Stanford University, exemplifies this through the recent success of Nooks, a platform he co-founded that has secured $43 million in Series B funding.


About Nooks

Nooks is an AI Sales Assistant Platform (ASAP) designed to enhance sales teams' efficiency by automating time-consuming tasks. The platform offers AI assistants that handle activities such as dialing, coaching, and prospecting, allowing sales representatives to focus on building human connections and strategic selling. By integrating with popular sales tools, Nooks streamlines workflows and significantly boosts pipeline generation.


Significance of the $43 Million Series B Funding

The recent Series B funding, led by Kleiner Perkins with participation from existing investors Lachy Groom and Tola Capital, brings Nooks' total funding to $70 million. This investment will drive product innovation, enhance infrastructure, and expand the platform's market presence, enabling Nooks to further empower sales teams with AI-driven solutions.


What This Means for the TJHSST Community

Rohan Suri’s success is more than just a personal victory; it underscores the profound impact of a TJ education. The school’s commitment to fostering analytical thinking, collaboration, and technical expertise sets its students apart, preparing them to navigate and lead in complex fields. Suri’s journey shows how the skillset gained at TJHSST translates seamlessly to tackling real-world problems and spearheading change.


A Source of Inspiration

Nooks’ growth serves as a compelling example for current and future TJ students, demonstrating that with dedication, ingenuity, and the foundational tools acquired at TJHSST, ambitious goals can be met and exceeded. It’s a reminder that the lessons learned—both in the classroom and through hands-on projects—empower students to think big and pursue impactful endeavors.


Why Nooks Stands Out

Nooks distinguishes itself from conventional communication platforms by offering AI assistants that automate routine tasks, allowing sales representatives to focus on human-centered selling. This approach not only enhances productivity but also strengthens team cohesion, addressing key challenges in the sales industry. The Series B funding will enable Nooks to scale these innovative capabilities and solidify its standing as a leader in AI-powered sales solutions.


Final Thoughts

Rohan Suri’s success with Nooks reflects the essence of TJHSST: nurturing individuals who don’t just adapt to change but drive it. The achievements of alumni like Suri inspire confidence that the future is bright for TJ’s current students, proving that the combination of passion, education, and perseverance can lead to extraordinary results.
