Hendrik Van Hove, Co-founder of Conveo: BREAKING: Conveo raised $50M Series A

Conveo just raised a $50m Series A from DST Global, Balderton Capital, Visionaries, 6 Degrees Capital and Y Combinator, bringing its total funding to $55.8m.

Conveo helps large companies understand what their customers want, using AI to run the research and get the findings to the teams that need them. The company has grown from 12 to 80 people in less than a year.

Hendrik Van Hove is Co-founder of Conveo. He believes the real value of AI for big companies comes from pairing it with people, and that's the part most competitors miss.
