TitanX buys FrontSpin to boost AI-powered cold calling

Wed, 18th Feb 2026

TitanX has acquired sales communication platform FrontSpin in an eight-figure transaction, adding a power dialler business to its phone-intent data and software.

The deal pairs TitanX's "Phone Intent" product with FrontSpin's call deliverability technology. TitanX positions Phone Intent as a way for sales teams to identify prospects most likely to answer a cold call.

The acquisition comes as outbound sales teams reassess channel mix and productivity. Many organisations report lower returns from email outreach and growing competition for attention across digital channels. The phone remains a core tool for business-to-business prospecting, but connect rates often sit in the low single digits.

TitanX puts typical connect rates at about 3%, meaning representatives spend most of their time reaching voicemail rather than having live conversations. In response, teams are moving away from high-volume calling and towards more targeted approaches.

Combining products

TitanX has built its business around "phone intent," which it describes as a behavioural propensity to answer cold calls. It says it uses AI trained on more than one billion calls to score prospects and identify roughly 20% of a market as more likely to pick up.

TitanX claims customers can reach 20% to 30% connect rates using its product, compared with industry averages of about 3%. Its software is designed to work alongside existing sales systems.

FrontSpin provides sales communication software centred on a cloud-based power dialler. The company markets its product on call deliverability and high-volume outbound workflows, and says the platform is used by a mix of large companies, startups, and outsourcing providers.

Joey Gilkey, CEO and founder of TitanX, said FrontSpin stands out in a crowded dialler market.

"After spending more than a decade working behind nearly every dialer on the market, it became clear that very few are built with enterprise-grade call deliverability in mind the way FrontSpin is," said Joey Gilkey, CEO and Founder, TitanX.

"When you pair a first-mover, category-defining platform like Phone Intent at TitanX with that level of call deliverability, the impact on outbound performance is immediate," Gilkey said.

Mansour Salame, CEO of FrontSpin, said the companies already had a close working relationship.

"We've built an incredibly strong partnership with TitanX over the years, grounded in our shared belief that the phone remains the most powerful channel in sales," Salame said.

"Now, by joining forces with TitanX, we're supercharging our ability to innovate faster, deliver even more value for our customers, and bring a truly unique combined offering to the market for the long term," he said.

Integration plans

FrontSpin will continue to operate as a standalone business, and TitanX said existing customers should see no interruption to service.

Over time, the companies plan to unify their platforms into an integrated product. TitanX described the combined offering as a "precision" platform for phone-led go-to-market teams, with intent data feeding into the dialling workflow.

The companies did not disclose the purchase price beyond describing it as an eight-figure transaction. They also did not provide details on the mix of cash and equity or any earn-out structure.

Funding and growth

TitanX said it raised USD $27 million in a Series A round led by Updata Partners in January 2026 and reported 350% year-on-year growth in 2025.

The company says it now serves more than 300 customers across SaaS, fintech, logistics, and professional services. Founded in 2024, it is headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee.

FrontSpin was founded by Salame and operates in the sales engagement and dialler market. The company says it has built a team with experience across SaaS, communications, and user interface design.

TitanX said it will continue developing Phone Intent while progressing integration with FrontSpin's dialler technology, with FrontSpin remaining a separate business during the transition.
