Brazilian startup Tako has successfully secured $18 million in a funding round spearheaded by Ribbit Capital and Andreessen Horowitz. This investment comes on the heels of Tako’s initial seed round in November 2024. Tako specializes in assisting mid-sized Brazilian companies by streamlining employee onboarding, payroll, and data management through a single platform, leveraging AI to adapt to evolving labor laws. The newly acquired funds are set to fuel Tako’s expansion and the introduction of its AI agents, designed to automate payroll processes and ensure compliance with labor and tax regulations in Brazil. Since its inception, Tako has managed payrolls exceeding R$1 billion and claims to have saved its clients a total of 5,000 days worth of manual labor.
