## About

Established in 2023 by co-founders Bernardo Rodela, Marcos Varotti, and Tiago Salles and based in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Gaio focuses on chatbots, content creation, and AI-driven marketing for small businesses and creators looking to grow revenue through social media engagement. In August 2025, Gaio raised USD 1.7 million in Angel funding led by investor Link Ventures. Gaio offers a platform that helps brands and content creators convert Instagram followers into customers using artificial intelligence. Its platform analyzes follower engagement and purchase behavior to identify leads, allowing users to focus their outreach more effectively. It also organizes incoming messages by topic, making it easier to manage conversations and respond efficiently. Additionally, Gaio automates customer support and sales interactions through smart bots, enabling businesses to handle inquiries and close sales directly through Instagram DMs. The company will use the August 2025 funding to accelerate its platform and widen its market operations across Latin America.
