Helsinki-based SaaS startup Videobot announced that it has secured €2M in a seed round of funding from Superhero Capital, Expon Capital Digital Tech Fund, and angel investors Urban Gillstrom and Ari Korhonen.
The Finnish company says it will use the funds to accelerate its growth, especially in Europe and the US markets.
Currently, the company claims to have gained a solid foothold with over 200 customers in 15 countries and multiple diverse industries.
Founded in 2022 by Anssi Kiviranta and Matias Mäenpää, Videobot merges short videos and chatbots to revolutionize online customer engagement.
In an interview with Silicon Canals, Kiviranta, says, “Videobots combine the engaging power of short video content with the interactivity of a chatbot, creating an immersive and dynamic experience for users. With a Videobot, you’re not just providing information; you’re initiating a dialogue with your audience, guiding them through a personalized journey that’s tailored to their needs and interests.”
“At their core, Videobots use artificial intelligence to interact with users in a human-like way. But unlike a typical chatbot, a Videobot interacts through video, making the experience far more dynamic and engaging. This fusion of interactivity and visual appeal is what makes Videobots so effective and versatile,” adds Kiviranta.
Videobot says the technology can be implemented to any modern website within minutes with a widget or plug-in solution to the existing website, and it works seamlessly on any screen.
Videobot not only offers a tool for engagement but also provides recommendations to clients regarding video format and content to drive higher engagement, generate leads, and boost sales.
The platform’s primary use case is lead generation, but it’s also effective throughout the customer journey.
