Overwhelmed by the support on our Series A announcement this morning, including the incredible piece by Chris Metinko for Axios (link in first comment).
The next interface isn’t an app. It’s a conversation. Every enterprise will have a voice or conversational agent as the front door to their product: handling calls, closing deals, resolving issues, onboarding customers. Autonomously, at scale.
But agents are only as valuable as the trust you can place in them. Coval gives enterprises the infrastructure to simulate, test, and continuously improve their agents so they can deploy with confidence and scale without fear.
We’ve seen this problem before. The reason we trust autonomous vehicles on public roads is because the evaluation infrastructure got rigorous enough. Billions of simulated miles, continuous monitoring, and relentless iteration before a single real-world deployment. We’re building that same foundation for voice and conversational AI.
So thankful to all of our investors for believing in what we’re building: Norwest, Swift Ventures, Base10 Partners, Y Combinator, Alumni Ventures, Twilio Ventures, MaC Venture Capital, Fortitude Ventures and many more.
Now, back to building!
