The Mobile-First Company has closed a $12 million seed round led by Base10 Partners and Lightspeed Venture Partners. The Miami-based startup, founded by former Spendesk team member Jérémy Goillot, is building AI-powered mobile apps specifically for small teams that want to run their operations from a phone.
The round also includes participation from senior operators across leading AI companies who remain under confidentiality agreements. The company plans to use the capital to launch two new products, relocate its headquarters to Miami, and hire more than 30 people across the US and Argentina.
Most business software is designed for large companies with dedicated IT departments and people sitting at desks all day. But that's not how most of the economy works. Small business owners—whether they run restaurants, repair shops, or consulting firms—spend their days moving, talking to customers, and solving problems on the go.
"Where I come from, entrepreneurship means opening a restaurant, a shop, or a garage," says founder and CEO Jérémy Goillot. "We're building software for that world—the real economy—not for large corporations with IT departments."
The new capital will fund the launch of two products that expand beyond phone calls into other daily business tasks. Due is an AI invoicing app that creates, sends, and reconciles invoices directly from a phone. Claim is an AI expense management app that captures receipts, categorizes spending, and prepares reports in seconds.
The company is also moving its headquarters to Miami and expanding its product and engineering teams. More than 30 new positions will open across Miami and remote locations, particularly in Argentina where part of the technical team is based.
The Mobile-First Company's first product, Allô, is an AI business phone system that has already attracted 5,000 paying companies worldwide. Since January 2025, both revenue and usage have grown 50% month over month, with particularly strong traction in the United States.
Allô automates call notes, powers AI receptionists, and connects conversations to the tools teams use every day. It costs three times less than legacy phone systems while offering more functionality. Sales teams sync call outcomes to their CRM without manual data entry. Auto and bike repair shops route missed calls to an AI agent that answers questions and books appointments. Michelin-starred restaurants use it to confirm reservations and send details via SMS.
"We had been using outdated software for so long that moving to Allô felt like upgrading from Windows 98," said Bernard, managing director of Le Wagon.
The company's approach is simple: AI should be invisible. Customers don't choose Allô because it uses artificial intelligence. They choose it because it solves problems and saves time. The AI runs in the background, turning every phone call into actionable data without requiring users to change their behavior.
"Small teams know AI can help, but most tools feel built for big companies or engineers," said Jérémy Goillot. "Allô proved that AI belongs inside the tools people open all day. Calls, invoices, expenses. If Allô is our A, we plan to work through the alphabet of problems that slow teams down."
Another customer, the owner of Morning Coworking, described the experience: "The product is intuitive and self-serve. We started with a few seats and finished with 35 people asking for a license. Everyone got hooked on Allô."
The Mobile-First Company was founded by CEO Jérémy Goillot and CTO Franco Pinto. Goillot previously worked at Spendesk, a European fintech company that builds spend management software. That experience showed him how small businesses struggle with tools designed for enterprises.
The company started by focusing on one problem—business phone calls—and proved that small teams would adopt AI if it was practical and affordable. Now it's expanding that approach to other everyday business tasks that eat up time without adding value.
Base10 Partners and Lightspeed Venture Partners led the round because they see the Mobile-First Company addressing a massive, underserved market. Small and medium businesses represent the majority of the economy, but most software innovation targets larger enterprises.
"Jérémy and his team are building the AI-native operating system for Main Street: software that actually meets small business owners where they are—on their phones, not behind a desk. By turning every call into actionable data and automating everyday workflows, the Mobile-First Company is redefining how SMBs sell, communicate, and grow. We're thrilled to partner with the team as they build intuitive, powerful software for teams on-the-go," said Rexhi Dollaku, General Partner at Base10 Partners.
Antoine Moyroud, Partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners, emphasized the company's unique approach: "The Mobile-First Company is on a mission to empower small teams and SMBs with the tools they need to excel, anytime, anywhere. In today's fast-paced world, the only constant companion for these professionals is their phone. What sets them apart is their intuitive, AI-driven approach that seamlessly integrates into existing workflows, making it an invisible force that just works. Their customers don't choose them because they use AI; they choose them because their solutions solve problems and boost productivity effortlessly. The AI is not the selling point, it's the magic behind the scenes that enables their customers to do more, without even realizing it."
The company is backed by Base10 Partners and Lightspeed Venture Partners, along with several undisclosed operators from top AI companies.
