Mendo raises $13.5M Series A to scale enterprise AI adoption in Europe

The Paris-based startup has helped +100k employees with genAI upskilling since Emerge led its seed and counts PwC among its customers

11 Jun 2026

Mendo, the French startup helping enterprises adopt generative and agentic AI, has raised $13.5M (€12M) in a Series A round led by Educapital, Ventech, Tomcat and OVNI Capital. We led Mendo’s seed round in 2024, convinced this team could crack one of the hardest problems in enterprise AI. They’ve gone on to prove it.

GenAI is everywhere, but 70% of AI projects never reach real deployment. This is an adoption problem, not a tech problem. Mendo is building the system that helps enterprises turn AI investment into actual usage, real ROI and successful agentic transformation.

More than 100 large organisations – including PwC, Novo Nordisk and Crédit Agricole CIB – are already running their GenAI adoption on Mendo, impacting almost 100,000 employees across Europe, in the flow of work.

“When we first met Quentin, Alexandre and the team, they already understood what most of the market still misses – that enterprise AI succeeds or fails on people, not models. We backed that conviction at seed, and we’ve watched them prove it customer by customer. We’re proud to keep building alongside them, on a mission that refuses to leave anyone behind in the AI transition.”

This raise accelerates the team’s mission to make GenAI adoption real, measurable and human-centered at enterprise scale. 

As Tech.eu reported, Mendo will now focus on three priorities: strengthening its analytics capabilities to help organisations identify high-impact AI use cases and measure adoption, which early results show can be up to six times higher than with traditional approaches; doubling its workforce from 50 to 100 employees, primarily across product, engineering and sales; and accelerating its expansion across key European markets to meet growing demand for AI adoption support.

Let’s go!
