Convergence

Convergence is a London-based artificial intelligence startup founded in April 2024 by machine learning engineers Marvin Purtorab (CEO) and Andy Toulis (CTO). The company specializes in developing an advanced AI agent named 'Proxy,' which is designed to learn and consolidate tasks, ultimately enabling users to create time-saving and scalable workflows. With a mission to let people everywhere reclaim their time through the power of machine learning, Convergence is set to redefine human interaction with software by providing personalized AI assistants that alleviate users from repetitive tasks.

The technology developed by Convergence revolves around Large Meta Learning Models (LMLMs), which are capable of learning independently and retaining information over long periods. This allows the AI agents to adapt to new tasks without the need for extensive retraining. In 2024, Convergence successfully secured $12 million in pre-seed funding led by Balderton Capital, with additional participation from Salesforce Ventures and Shopify Ventures. This significant early-stage investment underscores the market's confidence in the company's innovative vision and technical capabilities.
