The guest of the 13th episode of the Inovo Podcast is Maja Schaefer, Co-Founder & CEO of Zowie.
ZOWIE is an AI-powered customer service automation tool for enterprise clients, incl. L'Oreal, InPost, Aviva, Avon, and Brainly. It helps fast-growing companies grow even faster by removing customer service bottlenecks. In 24 hours they automate 30% of customer service inquiries and up to 90% in a few weeks. The company was founded by Maja Schaefer and Matt Ciolek. In September 2020 Zowie raised a $600k+ seed round backed by Inovo Venture Partners and business angels. And it’s just the beginning of the road! You can find Zowie here: https://zowie.ai/
Michal Rokosz, a Partner at Inovo, sat down with Maja to discuss:
✅ how to transition from a service company to building your own product?
✅ how does a VC fund impact the business?
✅ and what are the most difficult aspects of fundraising?
The talk is in Polish, but there are English subtitles on YouTube.
