Dieter De Mesmaeker is Co-Founder and CEO of Conveo, a YC-backed AI-powered consumer intelligence platform that conducts and analyzes qualitative video and voice interviews at scale for enterprise brands.

Dieter earned a Master in Industrial Sciences from Groep T Leuven and a Master in General Management from Vlerick Business School, where he later won the Vlerick Venture Award in 2018.

Dieter believes customer intelligence should be treated as infrastructure, not an output, and writes about building AI-native companies and creating new market categories.

Before Conveo, Dieter co-founded DataCamp in 2013 as CTO and scaled it over a decade into one of the world's leading edtech platforms, training over 8 million learners globally and earning recognition from the Financial Times as one of the fastest-growing companies in the Americas.

Conveo has raised $55.8M in total funding including a $50M Series A led by DST Global Partners and Balderton Capital, and serves over 400 enterprises including Google, Unilever, Canva, and Procter and Gardner, conducting interviews in over 56 languages.
