Manasi Kulkarni

Manasi Kulkarni is an Indian-heritage software engineering leader and entrepreneur, co-founder and CEO of Conveyd, the London-based AI conveyancing platform. With over a decade of experience building consumer technology products at scale, she brings a rare combination of deep technical capability and product empathy to one of the UK's most structurally broken consumer experiences: buying a home.

Before founding Conveyd, Kulkarni spent three and a half years as Senior Engineering Manager at Monzo Bank, where she led a team of more than 30 engineers across five teams within the Operations vertical. Her work at Monzo centred on building the platforms and tooling that enabled efficient, scalable customer servicing for one of the UK's most-used digital banks. Prior to Monzo, she held technical leadership roles at ThoughtWorks, the global technology consultancy, where she led digital transformation programmes across multiple sectors and developed extensive experience in case management systems — including for legal workflows.

The founding insight for Conveyd came from personal experience. Kulkarni and her co-founder Stephen Cowley, also a former ThoughtWorks engineering leader, endured a gruelling six-month delay on their first home purchase that nearly saw the deal collapse. Having seen the problem from both the consumer and the legal infrastructure side, they built Conveyd to automate the administrative layers of conveyancing using purpose-built AI, reducing average purchase timelines from five months to six weeks.

Since Conveyd launched in March 2025, it has supported hundreds of residential property transactions. In December 2025, the company raised a £2.5 million seed round led by Eka Ventures. Kulkarni has spoken publicly about her conviction that the UK conveyancing process is not just inefficient but fundamentally redesignable — and that the impact achieved so far represents only the beginning of what AI can deliver in property legal services.
