Handhold, an AI platform designed to convert website visitors into customers without relying on traditional sales teams, has secured €3 million in seed funding.
The round was led by Entourage Capital, with participation from Inovia Capital and e2vc. Angel investors include Markus Villig, Ott Kaukver, Harsh Sinha, and Janer Gorohhov.
Rethinking The Sales And Onboarding Experience
Modern software buyers expect instant, personalised interactions, yet many still encounter slow demo scheduling, generic onboarding processes, and fragmented communication across teams.
Companies typically rely on either product-led growth or traditional sales-led approaches. However, both models come with limitations—product-led strategies can struggle with low activation and retention, while scaling human sales teams for smaller customers is often inefficient and costly.

AI Account Managers For The Entire Funnel
Handhold addresses this gap with AI-powered account managers that automate the full inbound customer journey. These agents engage visitors in real time, qualify leads, deliver tailored product demos, and guide users through onboarding—all without human intervention.
The platform manages the entire lifecycle, from first interaction through activation, retention, and expansion. This allows sales teams to focus on higher-value enterprise and mid-market opportunities, while AI handles early-stage engagement and smaller accounts.
24/7 Engagement With Multimodal AI
Founded in 2023, Handhold develops multimodal AI agents capable of interacting with users across different channels. These agents conduct discovery conversations, answer questions, and provide personalised product walkthroughs based on user needs.
By offering continuous, always-on engagement, the platform aims to improve conversion rates and accelerate user adoption.
Co-founder and CEO Georg Vooglaid highlighted that delivering high-touch customer support at scale has traditionally been impossible due to resource constraints—something AI agents now make achievable.
