Echovane Raises $1M Seed to Automate Market Research
Fundraise Insider tracks newly funded startups each week and delivers verified sales leads of C-suite contacts straight to your inbox, so you reach the right people while the funding is still fresh. See pricing.
Echovane has raised $1 million in a Seed round led by Titan Capital and Neon Fund, its first outside funding, closed in August 2026.
The San Francisco company sells an AI native market research service and takes on the whole process rather than a slice of it. Its agents handle everything from recruiting participants through to delivering the finished insight, which is the part that has traditionally required a research agency and several weeks.
The customer list is already substantial for a company this young. P&G and Haleon are both clients.
Himadri Roy, Smriti Gupta and Vipul Nair founded Echovane in 2026. All three are graduates of the Indian Institute of Technology and previously worked as product leaders at Amazon, Stripe, Gojek and Razorpay.
The money is going into three areas: the agent infrastructure itself, multimodal research capabilities, and building out a global participant network. That last one is the real moat in this business, since a research product is only as good as the people it can reach. The California company is starting that build now.
Software vendors and agencies selling into newly funded companies can reach verified contacts each week through B2B SaaS Leads.
