What is Echovane?
What is Echovane?
Echovane is an agentic AI startup building an AI-native market research platform. The founders originally set out to build an AI agent that interviews people to speed up qualitative research, but realized interviews were only one step in a complex process involving recruiters, panel vendors, moderators, translators and analysts.
Echovane now aims to own the whole research process, from the initial brief to decision-ready answers. Its team of AI agents designs studies, recruits and verifies participants, executes multimodal fieldwork and synthesizes qualitative and quantitative data. Findings are presented in an interactive dashboard and insight reels where researchers can ask follow-up questions, and every insight can be traced back to its source. Verification is aimed at common quality problems such as poor screening, professional respondents and fraud.
Bootstrapped until this round, Echovane says it has been adopted by global enterprises including Coca-Cola, Procter and Gamble, Haleon, Kantar and Trustly. Trustly's chief product officer said Echovane turned a month of product research into two days.
Echovane was co-founded by CEO Smriti Gupta, Vipul Nair and Himadri Roy, who previously worked on product development at companies including Amazon, Stripe and Razorpay.
