Duvo, founded by Rohlik's Tomáš Čupr, has secured $32 million in Series A funding. This capital fuels its mission: an enterprise AI operating system that unifies complex workflows. It enhances employee productivity across industries. Duvo transforms undocumented processes into efficient, automated actions. The platform leverages AI agents to integrate existing systems, avoiding costly overhaengineering. It prioritizes measurable value, secure operations, and global expansion.
Enterprise AI automation is rapidly reshaping global business. Duvo emerges as a key innovator. The Prague-based firm recently announced a $32 million Series A funding round. Balderton Capital led the investment. Existing backers Index Ventures, Northzone, and Credo Ventures also participated. This infusion boosts Duvo's total funding to $48 million. It signals strong market confidence in its unique approach to enterprise AI.
Tomáš Čupr, a serial entrepreneur, founded Duvo. He also founded Rohlik Group, a European online grocery giant. Čupr built Duvo from his own operational challenges at Rohlik. He faced fragmented systems and undocumented processes. These issues hindered productivity despite AI's potential. He saw a need for a unified platform. Duvo is that answer. It acts as an enterprise super app. It sits atop existing systems, bringing all processes together.
Duvo offers an Enterprise Execution OS. This system helps companies automate complex workflows. It does so without eliminating human oversight. The platform tackles a critical problem. Many businesses struggle to understand their own internal processes. Employees often cannot fully articulate their daily operations. Much critical knowledge resides in people's heads. Duvo solves this.
Its Duvo Clarity tool uses advanced AI interviews. It analyzes screen recordings. It processes existing documents. This captures how work actually happens. It identifies all exceptions and informal decisions. AI agents then map these processes. They pinpoint automation opportunities. They determine where human input is still vital. Other agents build these automations. They generate customized interfaces for individual employees.
The Duvo platform executes approved steps. It works across diverse systems. These include ERPs, supplier portals, spreadsheets, and email inboxes. It uses available APIs. Where APIs are absent, it operates through existing software interfaces. This innovative approach allows rapid deployment. Companies can launch their first automated process in weeks. It eliminates the need for large engineering teams. It bypasses extensive systems integration projects.
Duvo enhances employee productivity. It routes decisions requiring human input to the correct personnel. Dashboards display outstanding approvals and completed tasks. This reduces manual information transfer between disconnected systems. Duvo does not replace core systems. ERP and warehouse management systems retain their function. Duvo abstracts away their messy interfaces. It creates a more useful layer on top.
Čupr believes AI's biggest opportunity lies in productivity. He advocates for "raising the GDP of every employee." The goal is more value from existing staff, not fewer staff. He rejects the idea of AI taking over entire jobs. Instead, AI dramatically increases human capabilities. Duvo aims to build enterprise AI without vast engineering teams. The product itself handles process discovery, automation development, and deployment. This is a key differentiator in a competitive market.
The enterprise AI market is crowded. Čupr expresses skepticism about some current traction. He draws parallels to the 2021 online grocery boom. Many companies received high valuations but later struggled. He expects a similar correction in AI. Winners will deliver sustainable value. Duvo is built for long-term viability. It focuses on security, low implementation costs, and measurable results.
Duvo is model-agnostic. Companies can switch AI models without rebuilding workflows. This flexibility is crucial. Security is paramount. Organizations can run open-weight models on dedicated GPUs. They can connect models hosted in their own cloud or on-premises. They can use existing approved AI endpoints. The platform provides an audit trail. It records all approvals and system changes. Duvo holds SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and ISO 42001 certifications. It is available to US customers via Microsoft's Azure Marketplace.
Cost control is integral to Duvo's strategy. It selects different open-weight and proprietary models. Selections depend on task requirements. This ensures efficient operation. Čupr forecasts disruption among AI companies. Those raising billions but proving too expensive to operate may fail. Duvo aims for sustainable economics.
Duvo already serves major brands. Its customers include Morrisons, Holland & Barrett, Boden, Notino, and Allegro. The technology has generated over $100 million in value. This spans finance, supply chains, customer service, marketing, and HR. Notino, a European online beauty retailer, saw significant gains. Supplier bonus reconciliation dropped from 70 days to 15. Specialist time fell from 120 hours to under 10. These savings are for approximately $45 million in annual bonuses.
Duvo's applications extend beyond retail. It is used in banking, insurance, and energy. The underlying problems are universal. Fragmented systems, undocumented workflows, and repetitive administrative tasks plague all industries. Duvo meets companies where they are. It does not force operational changes to fit its agents. This adaptable approach resonates with diverse clients.
Duvo is expanding into the US market. Čupr notes the US willingness to adopt new technology. However, US customers can be less sticky. European companies adopt slower but commit longer. Duvo is also exploring opportunities in Asia. The company has around 70 employees. New investment targets sales, marketing, and partnerships. Michael Green joins as Senior Vice President, Go-to-Market. Spencer Insolia is the new Managing Director for the US. These hires strengthen Duvo's global commercial push. Partnerships with consulting firms are also a priority.
Čupr predicts AI will normalize. It will become a standard utility, like electricity or the internet. The industry will face traditional economic scrutiny. Profitability, customer retention, and long-term value will define success. He is building a legacy company. His focus is increasing employee productivity and collective intelligence. Duvo embodies this vision. It is poised to redefine enterprise operations.
