The new funding will support the Paris-based company’s next phase of growth, including product development, team expansion and commercial acceleration across Europe, as demand for AI adoption support continues to increase.
Mendo, the French startup helping enterprises adopt generative and agentic AI, has raised €12 million in Series A funding. The round was led by Ventech and Educapital, with participation from Tomcat and OVNI. The funding will support the company’s continued product development, team growth and expansion across Europe.
Despite rapid advances in AI technology, many organisations still struggle to move beyond experimentation. While businesses are investing heavily in AI initiatives, turning them into widely adopted and impactful solutions often requires more than the technology itself. Successful deployment depends on integrating AI into everyday workflows and ensuring employees are equipped to use it effectively.
Founded in 2021, Mendo was built to address this gap. Its platform acts as a bridge between AI tools and the people expected to use them, helping organisations turn AI investments into measurable business outcomes. Through its platform, Mendo helps organisations identify practical AI use cases, encourage adoption across teams and maximise the value of their AI initiatives while supporting employees throughout the transformation process.
The emergence of agentic AI is changing how organisations deploy AI. As AI becomes embedded across business functions, the challenge shifts from implementing technology to transforming how people and processes work. Mendo helps companies identify where AI can create the most value, determine where agents should be deployed and support adoption across teams.
With agentics, AI changes status: it is no longer a tool that saves you a few hours a week, it becomes the layer that orchestrates and governs all of a company’s operations. No company will pull off this transition without bringing its people along and changing the way it is organised. Our role is to make that adoption possible at scale, without leaving anyone behind,
explains Quentin Amaudry, CEO and co-founder of Mendo.
With this new funding, Mendo will focus on three priorities: strengthening its analytics capabilities to help organisations identify high-impact AI use cases and measure adoption, which early results show can be up to six times higher than with traditional approaches, doubling its workforce from 50 to 100 employees, primarily across product, engineering and sales, and accelerating its expansion across key European markets to meet growing demand for AI adoption support.
The funding marks an important milestone for Mendo as it seeks to help more organisations translate AI investments into measurable business value and sustainable adoption at scale.
