Why We Invested in Tempo
MAYA Capital led Tempo’s seed round, backing its mission to revolutionize Brazilians’ daily lives and give them back life’s most valuable asset: time.
The problem in a nutshell:
Chances are, you fall into one of two categories: (i) overwhelmed, juggling work and a never-ending second shift while managing your personal life, or (ii) stressed, watching your to-do list grow faster than you can check things off.
Modern life demands as much as a full-time job across multiple fronts: household, career, health, travel, finances, and more. Yet, hiring an assistant to ease the burden remains excessively expensive and complex.
An addictive and disruptive solution:
Tempo is transforming daily life in Brazil with an innovative WhatsApp-driven personal assistant service designed to save people time and money by consolidating and streamlining their everyday needs.
By combining human expertise with AI-powered automation, Tempo maximizes efficiency and reduces costs, making premium personal assistance more accessible than ever. Today, its assistants manage twice as many clients as traditional assistants — that efficiency will double by the end of the year. This hybrid approach ensures tailored support for customers while enabling rapid scalability.
Tempo’s vision goes even further. In addition to optimizing time for individual users, the company is expanding into families and organizations, offering plans for households and positioning its service as an exclusive benefit for top executives.
A bold vision for the future:
Tempo’s long-term strategy is to consolidate the fragmented services Brazilians manage through WhatsApp into a single, seamless conversational platform with integrated payments. By focusing on payment capabilities, Tempo aspires to become Brazil’s first financial convenience platform, redefining personal financial management.
An ambitious and outstanding team:
We have known Eduardo Latache — a.k.a. Lata — for a long time. Before founding Tempo, he was a General Partner at Base Partners, investing in the world’s most defining companies, such as Nubank, Stripe, and Bytedance. Equipped with sharp strategic acumen, Lata is a force of nature who executes above and beyond. We could not be luckier and happier partnering with him.
Tempo’s founding team is exceptionally driven, execution-biased, and well-rounded. They share a relentless overachiever mindset and are committed to delivering a product that exceeds expectations and creates the OG “wow effect” for clients. This composition will be paramount in their mission of transforming millions of lives.
MAYA’s investment in Tempo reflects our firm belief that this team will redefine how Brazilians spend their time, transforming Tempo into an essential and indispensable service for its customers.
