Lemni is an Amsterdam-based AI startup that enables businesses to deploy custom AI agents for customer experience in minutes, with each agent operating from a single source of truth per customer so every interaction continues seamlessly from where the last left off. Founded by Alex Buis and Krijn Rijshouwer, the platform supports customer interactions across phone, email, and other channels, acting like trained employees with real-time knowledge and context. Lemni launched out of stealth in March 2025 with a $3.5M (≈€3.3M) pre-seed round led by Sequoia Capital, with participation from Designer Fund, Frank Slootman, Scott Belsky, Arthur Mensch, and other notable founders and operators. The company differentiates itself by offering its core product at cost price and monetising through optional premium add-ons, making AI-powered customer service accessible to businesses of all sizes.
