Overview

Conveo is a U.S.-headquartered applied-AI company that provides software for qualitative market research and consumer intelligence. Its platform conducts AI-moderated video, voice, and text interviews, then uses multimodal analysis to organize spoken responses, tone, facial expression, and on-screen context into research outputs. The company is positioned between traditional qualitative research agencies and survey-oriented research software, emphasizing faster and larger-scale interviewing.

History

Conveo was founded in 2024 by Dieter De Mesmaeker, previously founder and CTO of DataCamp, and Hendrik Van Hove, formerly of McKinsey & Company. The company originated in Antwerp, Belgium, and went through Y Combinator's Summer 2024 batch. It raised a $5.3 million seed round in 2025 from investors including Y Combinator, 6 Degrees Capital, Entourage Capital, Pitchdrive, and Syndicate One. Conveo later expanded its footprint to New York, London, and San Francisco while retaining engineering operations in Belgium.

Reputation

Conveo is presented by customers and industry coverage as an enterprise-focused alternative to slower, manually moderated qualitative research. Its reported strengths include rapid interviewing, multilingual support, multimodal analysis, and integration of recruitment, interviewing, and synthesis in one workflow. Potential limitations include reliance on AI moderation for nuanced interviews, the need to validate automated interpretation, and limited publicly available information about pricing and long-term performance.
