Starting Tako was a fresh beginning for me. I wanted to apply what I had learned as a founder and to be part of the AI future. I wanted to do this based on humanistic values and beliefs, alongside formidable technical talent across Brazil and the US. AI occupies most of my thinking and I often return to this idea: we want an AI that amplifies the human spirit and that eliminates the work that suffocates the soul. Tako operates exactly on this second point by replacing bureaucracy with LLMs and code. Tako’s AI agents run payroll and workforce operations, with AI trained on Brazil’s labor laws. Today, we are launching our first agents. Brazil is a country of creative and entrepreneurial people. But it's also a place where paperwork, and regulations suffocate this potential every day. I remember leaving a meeting back in 2017 as I was launching Rappi and looking at a post of tangled electrical cables. I thought to myself: "This is how entrepreneurs feel when trying to build here." Tako is my call to action to change this. Technology is a tool to drive change and build new realities. AI can take over grunt work and simplify it on behalf of humans. As a foreigner who speaks the language, loves the culture and has lived through the pains of entrepreneurship here, I believe Brazil needs and deserves a new infrastructure to operate. It's an ambitious goal but Brazil will be better off when 20m companies and 50m workers run on Tako. We also raised $18m.
