Antwerp-based startup Conveo has secured 5.3 million dollars in seed funding to revolutionize market research with its AI-driven video interview platform.
Backed by Y Combinator, 6 Degrees Capital, Entourage Capital, Pitchdrive, and Syndicate One, Conveo aims to make deep customer insights instantly accessible to businesses.
Trusted by major brands like Unilever, Google, Orange, and Sanofi, Conveo automates qualitative research by conducting AI-led video interviews in multiple languages, delivering insights within hours instead of weeks. By handling everything from project setup to analysis, Conveo allows companies to scale research at a fraction of the cost.
Co-founders Dieter De Mesmaeker and Hendrik Van Hove, who experienced the limitations of traditional research firsthand, built Conveo to streamline the process. “We can’t imagine companies doing it the old way in two years. AI removes the barriers to customer research, helping businesses make better decisions”, says De Mesmaeker.
Early data shows that 83 percent of respondents feel more open speaking to an AI interviewer, and 93 percent rate Conveo’s AI interviews highly. With this funding, Conveo plans to expand its team and scale operations across the U.S. and Europe, further developing its AI-powered research coworker to enhance business decision-making.
