Malte Kosub and Stefan Ostwald founded Parloa in Berlin in 2018. Its official Series C and D releases describe AMP as tooling to build, train, test, and evolve customer-service agents using natural language and enterprise controls.
The January 15, 2026 release names General Catalyst as Series D lead, existing backers including EQT, Altimeter, Durable, and Mosaic, and total funding above $560M. Its Series C release carries a July page date but a May 6, 2025 announcement dateline; this profile uses the financing dateline. Customers and partners are sometimes grouped together in the company list, so named organizations are not all labeled paying customers without clearer evidence.
Parloa supplies an AI Agent Management Platform for enterprise customer experience. It announced $350M Series D led by General Catalyst at $3B in January 2026, following a $120M Series C. Its product emphasizes agent design, simulation, monitoring, and lifecycle management rather than only a voice interface.
Editorial assessment: testing and governance are useful differentiators as contact centers move beyond scripted bots. Platform value depends on correct resolutions, safe escalation, integrations, and customer satisfaction rather than replacing every human interaction.
Evidence boundary: financing announcements establish disclosed transactions, not audited operating performance. Unavailable headcount, margins, and retention are not estimated, and company claims remain attributed.
