Conveo对持续消费者情报的押注：5000万美元A轮融资

做的是什么生意

Sells AI-moderated consumer research: virtual interviewers run in-depth video conversations with consumers across markets and research methods, and findings accumulate in a 'consumer intelligence layer' that teams query in natural language.

启动资金：$5.3M seed (March 2025, backed by Y Combinator, 6 Degrees Capital, Entourage and others), then a $50M Series A announced September 2, 2026 with DST Global Partners, Balderton Capital, Visionaries, 6 Degrees Capital and Y Combinator — $55.8M total.

起因

Dieter De Mesmaeker and Hendrik Van Hove founded Conveo in 2024, graduating from Y Combinator with a critique of how market research actually works: surveys return breadth without depth, while focus groups and interviews are slow and costly to scale, and findings from individual projects stay fragmented. The founders built an AI-powered research interviewer that conducts in-depth video conversations with consumers, letting companies run qualitative studies across multiple markets in days rather than months.

经过

After a $5.3M seed in March 2025, Conveo expanded from a research tool toward what it calls consumer understanding infrastructure: interviews support methods like MaxDiff, price sensitivity and diary studies, and insights flow into a shared intelligence layer searchable through dashboards, AI agents and existing software integrations. Its StoryLines product runs research continuously around strategically important topics, adding findings to an evolving knowledge base instead of treating each study as standalone; Conveo says StoryLines has already produced multi-million-dollar enterprise contracts. The $50M Series A, announced September 2, 2026 with DST Global Partners, Balderton Capital and Y Combinator among the backers, funds US expansion and product development.
