The latest Seedcamp Deep Dive focuses on the intersection of art, logistics, and technology. Carlos’s guest is Edouard Gouin, co-founder and CEO of Convelio, a tech-led global logistics startup specialised in fine art shipping.
They discuss:
- the journey and challenges of building Convelio – from establishing trust with customers and sourcing and training local partners to navigating and overcoming the impact of the COVID pandemic, and even geopolitical conflicts;
- Convelio’s position in and interactions with key players within the art ecosystem, and its innovative value proposition;
- the critical elements of customer service;
- the importance of forming cultural alignments in business partnerships;
- the integration challenges after acquiring a ‘brick and mortar type’ logistics company;
- Edouard’s appreciation for art and his regret of missing out on promising investment opportunities in the early stages of his favourite artists’ careers.
