What they’re building
Consumer research often takes weeks of agency work. Verso runs the whole process, from study design and participant recruitment to AI-moderated video interviews and automated analysis.
Findings go into a searchable knowledge base, and consumer personas update as new research comes in. Verso says clients get insights about ten times faster, at a quarter of the cost of an agency.
The round
Angular Ventures led the $6m seed round, with 100in, Kima Ventures, Olympe Capital, Sharpstone Capital, Hexa and business angels. Verso will use the funding to add more consumer data sources, build access for AI agents, expand beyond France, including to the US, and hire in engineering and go-to-market.
