Meet the team
We started Stellar because phone support is stuck in the past: long hold times, frustrating phone menus and limited opening hours provide a terrible customer experience. Support employees spend more than half of their precious time on simple but time-consuming requests. We saw the massive potential of voice AI agents for phone support early on, and decided to go all-in on it to help companies provide great customer support that actually scales.
Based in Amsterdam, we're a fast-growing team with roots at Adyen, McKinsey, Bird, Uber and ABN AMRO. We've done this before: building enterprise-grade AI products at scale, optimising customer support operations, and running large digital implementations. We work closely alongside your team to ensure your success, from designing your first agent to production pilot to company-wide roll-out.
