Conveo Raises $50M Series A as its AI-Led Interviews Reach the World’s Biggest Brands

Today, Conveo announces a $50 million Series A, with DST Global, Balderton Capital and Visionaries joining the cap table. We first backed Conveo in July 2024 and are investing again in this round. We're proud to keep supporting this exceptional team as they scale.

Founded by Dieter De Mesmaeker and Hendrik Van Hove, Conveo is a YC-backed research platform that runs one-on-one video and voice interviews with consumers at scale, using an AI moderator instead of a human, and turns those conversations into analysed insights within days.

Transforming qualitative consumer research

Traditional consumer research runs on human moderators, which caps how many conversations a company can have and how quickly it can have them. Conveo rebuilds the process around an AI moderator instead. Participants are recruited through CSV uploads, QR codes, WhatsApp invites, public links or third-party panels, with no manual scheduling, and the interviews run asynchronously in video or voice, 24/7 across time zones and languages. The AI listens for context, understands brand references, and probes with follow-up questions.

Analysis follows automatically: thematic clustering, pattern detection, quote extraction, and dashboards where every statistic links back to the verbatim behind it. Closed survey questions and open qualitative probes can sit inside a single study, so teams get a number and the reasoning behind it in one pass. The result is confident decisions in days.

Adoption across global brands

Over 400 enterprises run on Conveo including 50+ Fortune 500 brands like Google, Unilever, AB InBev and Canva.

That adoption has translated into rapid growth. Revenue grew 24x over 2025 with a team of just 13 people, and more than doubled again in the first half of 2026. Existing enterprise accounts have expanded significantly, which in this category is the clearest signal that the product works. The team has grown from 13 people to 80, including senior hires from Palantir and Ipsos.

What the funding will support

The roadmap extends beyond research itself. Conveo is building agents that act on what the research surfaces, across research, marketing and innovation, moving the platform from a tool that explains what customers think to one that helps companies respond to it.

The new capital will accelerate Conveo as they take their next step from an AI research tool to infrastructure the entire enterprise runs on.

We’re incredibly proud of the founders. Conveo is - by example - the reason why Pitchdrive backs exceptional teams early, and we’re excited to be along for everything that comes next.
