What we do

We help the world’s biggest brands understand their customers.

A client asks a question. Our AI moderator interviews hundreds of real people on video, in their own words, in their own time. Those conversations compound into an understanding layer any team can query.

Qualitative research was always slow, expensive and impossible to scale. We made it fast and continuous without losing the nuance.

Series A

And we raised $50M to build it.

March 2026, led by DST Global. The film we made for it is our own people, on why Conveo has to exist. Most of them did this work by hand, at brands you already know.

Why we exist

It started with the interviews that never happened.

Hendrik ran qualitative research in healthcare. Nine in ten interviews with terminally ill patients were cancelled. Well enough in the morning, drained an hour later. An AI moderator meant they could take part on their own terms, whenever they were ready.

It's the same problem everywhere: the people with something to say never reach the teams who need to hear it.

Values

What we stand for

Our values were shaped by our founders and pressure-tested in a company-wide workshop. They're not slogans. They're patterns we already see in how our best people think, build, and show up.

We don't build features because they're interesting. We build them because a customer needs them. Engineers join customer calls. We ship fast, learn fast, iterate fast. Every custom solution should inform the product and compound for all customers.

We're not just using AI, we're building with it. I'll hand a spec to a mesh of agents, go to sleep, and wake up to a reviewed, tested, merge-ready PR. My job has shifted from writing every line to deciding what's worth building and holding the bar on quality.

Small team, enormous surface area, zero bureaucracy. If something's broken or missing, you own it end to end, from the migration to the customer call where it gets used. The ownership is real, and so is the impact.

Conveo runs like a well-oiled machine. Everything was set up and ready from day one, so I could focus on building instead of fighting tooling, which is exactly what you want as an engineer.
