Listen Labs, an AI startup specializing in automating customer interviews, has secured $69 million in Series A funding. The round was led by Sequoia Capital and included participation from other investors. The company gained significant attention earlier this year through a viral marketing campaign where it used a billboard in San Francisco to directly recruit engineers, a move that reportedly contributed to investor interest. The new capital will be used to scale the company’s core technology, which uses artificial intelligence to conduct and analyze large volumes of customer interviews. This aims to help businesses gather qualitative feedback at a scale and speed previously not possible with traditional human-led methods. The company plans to expand its team and accelerate product development with the funding.
