London-based CRM software developer Attio has acquired Inconvo, an Irish-founded AI analytics platform. The deal brings Inconvo's two founders into Attio's engineering team.
Inconvo was founded by brothers Eoghan and Liam Mulcahy. The platform let users query and analyse their data through a conversational, ChatGPT-like interface.
The Mulcahys started Inconvo roughly two years ago with the goal of making data accessible through plain language questions. The standalone Inconvo platform has been shut down as part of the acquisition.
Eoghan Mulcahy wrote in a blogpost that "natural language access to data isn't a nice add-on. It's infrastructure, and it belongs right at the centre of the tools teams use every day."
What Inconvo Built
Inconvo offered configurable AI assistants connected to user-facing data. Customers could interact with their own data through a simple conversational interface without needing technical skills.
The startup was accepted into Y Combinator's summer 2023 batch, one of the most competitive accelerator programmes in the world. It officially launched its product in 2024.
Inconvo was one of two Irish startups accepted into that Y Combinator cohort, giving it a profile beyond Ireland before the acquisition.
Why Attio Made the Move
Attio was founded in 2019 and builds AI-powered CRM software. Its clients include Modal, Snackpass and Union Square Ventures.
Nicolas Sharp, CEO and co-founder of Attio, said the Mulcahy brothers are "builders at heart" and fit the company's product philosophy. He said integrating the team would help Attio build architecture that lets teams "move at a speed, scale and quality previously out of reach."
Attio said the acquisition would help expand its "ecosystem of agents and integrations." The company wants to make natural language interfaces a standard part of all the tools it offers.
Attio described the move as part of a "larger shift" it is driving toward a CRM that changes how revenue work gets done.
The Mulcahys will focus on agentic access and integrations inside the Attio platform. Their work is expected to push natural language interfaces further into everyday business tools.
With Inconvo now closed to outside users, existing customers of the platform will need to find alternative solutions. No transition support details were mentioned in either company's public statements.
The acquisition adds two experienced founders to Attio's engineering bench. For the Mulcahys, it marks a shift from running an independent startup to building inside a larger, funded product team.
