Fonio just raised $17M. At a $140M valuation, led by 20VC. A little over a year ago, the plan was simple: build the #1 AI phone agent for SMBs. Back then, Daniel Keinrath was running 20 demos a day. Matthias Gruber was building the entire product solo. Today Fonio is the #1 AI phone agent for SMBs in Europe. → ~10,000 customers → 50+ people on the team → 30%+ MoM growth → $1.5M ARR added last month alone → On track for $10M ARR by summer And we're just getting started. We just launched an AI WhatsApp agent. Email agents, chatbots & an AI-first CRM are next. The mission hasn't changed: give SMBs the tools to compete with the largest enterprises on earth. If that fires you up, come build with us. 35+ roles open right now. €10,000 for every referral that turns into a hire. So grateful for our team, customers, partners & investors. 20VC, Harry Stebbings, Paul Bonnet, Angel Invest, Jens Lapinski, 20SALES, Kim Maniovich, Christian Stiebner, Victor Riparbelli, Felix Blossier, Kieran Flanagan, Alexandre Berriche, Daniel Gutenberg, Robert Wuttke, Wecken & Cie. - Care4 AG, and many more of the most amazing investors
