E-commerce brands attract traffic every day. Very few convert it well. Most stores turn less than 3 percent of visitors into buyers. This gap leaves massive revenue untapped. UAE based startup Yozo.ai wants to fix that problem at scale.
Founded in early 2025, Yozo.ai has raised $1.7 million in pre seed funding to build an AI powered Revenue Engine. The platform automates growth and retention work that usually requires large teams. In just three months, Yozo helped its clients reach more than 250,000 shoppers through automated campaigns.
Strong Investor Support for a Global Problem
The funding round was co led by Access Bridge Ventures and Disruptech Ventures. Several regional funds and angel groups also joined.
Investors in the round include:
- Access Bridge Ventures
- Disruptech Ventures
- Arzan VC
- Oraseya Capital
- Plus VC
- Suhail Ventures
- Glint Ventures
- M Empire Angels
Backers see Yozo addressing a universal pain point. E-commerce brands struggle to turn intent into revenue.
Built by Proven Second Time Founders
Yozo’s founding team previously built and exited Fatura. A regional investment bank acquired the company in 2022. That experience shaped the idea behind Yozo.
The founders observed a consistent issue. Shoppers show intent. Most never buy. Growth teams try to fix this gap. They face limits in time, tools, and talent.
Retention marketing demands constant effort. Teams must manage data, timing, segmentation, testing, and content. Few brands execute this well at scale.
An Autonomous AI Growth Operator
Yozo takes a different approach. It does not add another dashboard or tool. It acts as an autonomous operator.
The system behaves like a full growth team. It plans, executes, and improves campaigns without manual input.
Yozo automates:
- Email marketing programs
- WhatsApp and SMS campaigns
- Multivariate testing
- Incrementality measurement
- Continuous optimization
Brands connect their accounts. They approve campaigns. Yozo handles the rest.
Early Traction Signals Strong Demand
Yozo launched only three months ago. Tens of paying brands already use the platform. Clients range from small stores to fast growing regional players.
In a short period, Yozo delivered:
- Over 250,000 shoppers reached
- Always on lifecycle campaigns
- Automated experimentation at scale
This traction shows strong demand for AI driven growth solutions.
Scaling Beyond the Middle East
Yozo plans aggressive global expansion. The team targets markets where growth talent is expensive or hard to hire. Many brands cannot afford full retention teams.
Yozo aims to become the default revenue engine for e-commerce. The company believes application layer AI can replace manual workflows entirely.
With fresh capital and early proof, Yozo now focuses on scale. The mission remains clear. Capture lost demand. Turn intent into revenue. Do it autonomously.
