Mavenoid Raises $8M to End Expensive, Repetitive Product Support

Mosaic Ventures joins Creandum and Point Nine Capital in financing Mavenoid, the platform for automated product support. The round was raised on the back of signing new deals with several global Fortune 500 companies. Mavenoid will use the funds to triple the company size and expand internationally.

Manufacturers use Mavenoid to let their customers solve repetitive requests themselves, without assistance from expensive human support teams. Unlike generic chatbots, Mavenoid can handle the entire span of support requests: from installation and usage to complicated troubleshooting. Mavenoid is used for consumer electronics and home appliances as well as industrial machinery.

“Companies and customers are both winners. Companies save time and money, while customers get instant and accurate help around the clock,” said Mavenoid Co-founder and CEO Shahan Lilja. “Having to wait hours or days to get your product working sucks, so we’re putting an end to that. Give your customers great support and they will stick with you.”

The Stockholm-based AI company will use the money to bolster product development and fuel international expansion. Mavenoid plans to triple the team size over the next 12 months.

“Mavenoid represents a rare mix of a highly talented and experienced team, a unique, technically advanced ML-based product, and a huge, whitespace market”, says Simon Levene, Partner at Mosaic Ventures. "At Mosaic, we like to leverage our network from both sides of the Atlantic. Mavenoid's recent progress and future plans map well to how we can be positively impactful as investors. We're excited to help Mavenoid grow into a global category leader,” said Mosaic partner Simon Levene.

Founded in 2017 by two former Palantir employees, Mavenoid has quickly established itself with technical support teams due to the reduced support costs and resolution times of automating repetitive and tedious, but often complex troubleshooting tasks. AI handles that type of pain much better than a human.

The new round brings Mavenoid’s total funding to $10 million. As part of the deal, Mosaic partner Simon Levene joins the board.
