Daniel Vassilev
Co-founder and CEO
Relevance AI
Daniel Vassilev is co-founder and CEO of Relevance AI, a platform for building and operating AI agent workforces. With Jacky Koh and Daniel Palmer he grew the company from Australia into a global agent tooling story covered by Bessemer and others.
Australian roots, agent ambition
A Bessemer founder conversation introduces Vassilev with co-CEO Jacky Koh and co-founder Daniel Palmer sharing their vision for AI agents in business workflows. The trio's public story emphasizes practical agent crews over research demos.
Series B and the AI workforce
Relevance announced a $24M Series B to scale what it calls the AI workforce - agents that handle multi-step business tasks with human oversight. Product marketing leans on ops and GTM use cases rather than only developer frameworks.
On agents as coworkers
Vassilev talks about agents as workforce capacity companies can design and manage. That language is why Relevance sits in AIR's agent platforms set beside more US-centric names.
