aiinsider ·
Autentic AI has successfully closed a €1.5 million pre-seed funding round to expand its automated market research platform. The investment includes participation from Baobab Ventures, Lanai Ventures, Acurio Ventures, and Masia VC. Founded by Dani Diestre, Aniol Carreras, and Jacob Bamio, the startup utilizes AI to conduct simultaneous interviews with hundreds of verified consumers and experts. This approach significantly reduces the time required for traditional studies, which typically take weeks or months, delivering results in just days. The company currently performs 1,000 interviews daily and aims to scale this number to over 400,000 by the end of 2026. Autentic operates across several sectors including consumer goods, retail, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, strategic consulting, and private equity. Co-CEO Dani Diestre emphasized that while AI analyzes conversation patterns, human researchers remain involved to ensure methodological rigor and judgment.
