The Mobile-First Company Raises $12M to Power AI Suite

The Mobile-First Company, a Paris-founded startup, has closed a $12 million seed round to expand its AI-powered mobile software for small teams.

Backed by Base10 Partners and Lightspeed Venture Partners, the company is accelerating product development and relocating its headquarters to Miami.

Founded in 2023 by Jérémy Goillot, former Head of Growth at Spendesk, and CTO Franco Pinto, the company targets an overlooked market: small businesses and solopreneurs running entire operations from their phones.

Building Software for the Real Economy

The Mobile-First Company challenges the status quo of enterprise software. Legacy tools were built for large corporations with IT departments, steep pricing, and complex workflows.

  • Goillot's vision is different: affordable, beautiful, AI-powered apps that small teams can actually use. No $75-per-user seats. No lengthy sales cycles.
  • The company's philosophy: one problem, one app. Focus deeply on solving specific pain points rather than bundling bloated features.

Allo Proves the Model Works

The flagship product, Allo, is an AI business phone system already used by over 5,000 paying businesses globally, with strong traction in the United States.

Allo handles call notes automatically, powers AI receptionists, and integrates seamlessly with daily workflows. Revenue and usage have grown 50% month-over-month since January 2025.

  • Cost comparison: Allo charges roughly 3 times less than legacy VoIP competitors like RingCentral or Vonage, while delivering modern, AI-first functionality.

Expanding the Suite

This capital fuels two new products:

  • Due — An AI invoicing app that creates, sends, and reconciles invoices directly from your phone. Perfect for contractors, consultants, and small service businesses.
  • Claim — An expense management app that captures receipts, categorizes spend, and generates reports in seconds.

The integrated suite removes friction from boring business tasks, freeing teams to focus on growth.

What's Next?

The Miami relocation signals serious US market ambitions. The team will expand to 30+ across product, engineering, and go-to-market roles.

The product roadmap focuses on expanding the mobile-first suite. Each new tool reinforces the platform's value as teams consolidate more operations on one system.

Challenges include scaling customer acquisition cost efficiently and competing against larger, well-funded players in invoicing and expense management.

But early momentum is undeniable.

  • The $12M injection validates the thesis: small businesses will adopt AI when it's affordable, mobile-first, and solves real problems.
