Our take
There is an inherent lack of efficiency in many call centres. This not only creates irritation for customers and negative experiences for agents but, as a result, it harms a company’s reputation whilst generating high costs for businesses.
On a mission to put an end to the madness of a call centre, Berlin-based Parloa offers a conversation AI platform that is changing the way businesses communicate with their customers. Using artificial intelligence, Parloa provides unique solutions for companies that makes their specific service smarter.
The company has attracted impressive funding, most recently in 2025, following a tripling of its revenue growth and a 2023 entry into the US market. This investment will be used to scale its operations across the US and EU and will support its product enhancement initiatives.
