Alexander Kvamme
About Alexander Kvamme
Alexander Kvamme is a co-founder and CEO of Echo AI, based in San Francisco. Crunchbase lists him as having studied at Duke University from 2006 to 2010. He has founded two companies, and his X profile describes him as a 3x founder.
His first company was SeatMe, a restaurant reservation and table management product that Yelp acquired and renamed Yelp Reservations. Wellfound and Crunchbase both list him as founder and CEO there. He later co-founded Pathlight with Trey Doig. Pathlight began as a team management platform for customer-facing teams and later became Echo AI, which Crunchbase describes as a generative AI-native conversation intelligence platform. Crunchbase names Kleiner Perkins, Insight Partners and Quiet Capital among its investors.
In December 2024, Calabrio announced it was acquiring Echo AI, and Kvamme was quoted in the release as co-founder and CEO of Echo AI. PitchBook's investor profile also lists him as a lead partner at Quiet Capital and as CEO of a company called 8080. We could not confirm what 8080 does or his current role there, so treat that as unverified. His X bio says he is a partner at Quiet Capital.
Crunchbase records 4 investments by Kvamme across 4 portfolio companies, with 0 lead investments and 2 exits, one of them by IPO. The four rounds it lists are Automatic (Series A), Shift (seed), Relativity6 (angel round) and Parabola (seed). Crunchbase also lists him as an investor at Parabola. PitchBook's angel profile covers a different set: Standard Cyborg (July 2016), Truly (September 2017) and Parabola (May 2018). It also shows a board seat at Truly and two exits, Standard Cyborg in 2022 and a secondary transaction in Truly in 2025.
The two databases do not fully agree, and neither is likely to be complete. His LinkedIn profile includes a longer list of company names, but we have not confirmed which are personal angel checks and which are Quiet Capital deals. Check sizes and round terms are not shown in the public pages we found.
His X bio names Taalas, Chroma (trychroma) and Fauna Robotics as companies he invests in, alongside "others". Taalas and Chroma are not named in his Crunchbase or PitchBook records, and we did not find investment dates or round details for them. PitchBook also lists a past board role at Fauna Robotics.
On the operating side, Kvamme has led an AI company for several years. He has spoken publicly about generative AI agents and LLM operations for conversation intelligence, including a webinar with Insight Partners and a podcast appearance.
Kvamme describes himself as an angel investor and adviser on Wellfound. Foundersuite lists his interests as enterprise software, SaaS and software, and lists seed rounds. His recorded deals are mostly early-stage business and productivity software. A few other companies he backed fall outside that, including Standard Cyborg (multimedia and design software) and Fauna Robotics.
He is based in San Francisco, and his X and LinkedIn pages point to the Bay Area. We found no public statement from him about check size, ownership targets or a formal thesis, so founders should not assume a typical check. Founders with a product built on customer conversations or enterprise AI workflows have the most direct overlap with his operating experience, but this is an inference from his background and not something he has stated.
- Parabola: workflow automation software. Seed round listed by Crunchbase, and PitchBook dates the deal to May 2018.
- Truly: business and productivity software. PitchBook lists an investment in September 2017 and a board seat.
- Standard Cyborg: multimedia and design software. PitchBook lists an investment in July 2016 and an exit in 2022.
- Automatic: Series A round listed by Crunchbase, with Kvamme among 15 investors. Date not confirmed.
- Shift: seed round listed by Crunchbase, with Kvamme among 10 investors.
- Relativity6: angel round listed by Crunchbase.
- Chroma, Taalas and Fauna Robotics: named as investments on his X profile. Dates and terms not public.
