Assis Raises $5M in Seed Funding

Assis, a São Paulo, Brazil-based virtual assistant for solopreneurs, raises $5m in its seed funding round.

The round was led by Costanoa Ventures, with participation from MAYA, Canaan, Latitud, Norte, FJ Labs, 1616, BFF and angel investors.

The money will primarily be used to hire technology professionals who will help with the continuous development of the platform.

Launching in April, Assis acts as a virtual assistant for solopreneurs, helping them to succeed by offering differentiated experiences for their clients. The platform assists in the entire sales process as the main ally of entrepreneurs, from the first click to the money deposited in the account. The startup helps the entire customer flow through the bot integrated with ChatGPT and the app. This includes initial contact, reminding them of tasks, checking for questions, sending quotes, checking availability and making payments.

Assis was founded by Raphael Machioni, co-founder and former CEO of Vee Benefícios, which was sold to the French giant Swile in 2020, João Bergamo, former CFO of Vee Benefícios, and Vagner Dutra, founding technology team member of PicPay.
