Mendo raises €12M to turn enterprise AI tools from expensive software into daily habits

Enterprises have invested heavily in AI tools. Although most organisations have purchased licences and held training sessions, adoption remains low and the return on investment is difficult to measure. Investment has been made, but the behavioural change required to turn that investment into daily practice does not follow automatically.

Mendo, a Paris-based start-up founded in 2021 by Quentin Amaudry and Alexandre Pinon, has developed a platform that tackles this issue head on. It embeds directly into the AI tools that employees already use, such as Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Mistral AI, and guides users towards relevant use cases in real time without interrupting their workflow for separate training. It runs across three products. Mendo Adoption provides personalised in-tool learning paths. The AI Impact Centre provides leadership with anonymised analytics on usage and return on investment. Mendo Agents is a governance layer for organisations transitioning to AI-orchestrated operations, where agents span business functions and low adoption has more significant consequences.

Mendo has just closed a €12 million Series A round, co-led by Ventech and Educapital and with participation from Tomcat and OVNI. The round follows a €3.5 million seed led by Emerge Capital in October 2024, bringing total funding to €15.5 million. The capital will support the development and expansion of the analytics product across European markets.
