Paris-based startup Mio has announced a €1.9 million pre-Seed round as it emerges from stealth, positioning itself as one of the latest entrants in the crowded race to put an “AI colleague” directly inside workplace chat tools. According to the company’s own announcement, the fresh capital will back development of an AI agent designed to operate as a genuine participant in a company’s Slack workspace rather than a bolt-on chatbot.
Per Mio’s Product Description
Per Mio’s product description, teams can @mio in any channel and interact with it the way they would a colleague asking questions about ongoing projects, requesting meeting prep, or triggering weekly briefs. The tool is built to read across a company’s connected software stack, drawing on CRM records, documents, and prior Slack threads to return grounded answers rather than generic replies. Mio says it supports integrations with thousands of business tools and can act on scheduled routines, though sensitive actions reportedly require explicit user approval before execution.
The pre-Seed round places Mio among a fast-growing cluster of Slack-native AI agents that have drawn investor attention through 2026, as workplace AI shifts from single-user assistants toward tools that embed themselves in team-wide communication channels. The company has not yet disclosed its investor list, founding team, or additional details beyond the funding figure and its stealth exit, and Glostarep has not been able to independently corroborate the round through Crunchbase, Reuters, or other tracked funding databases at this time. The pre-Seed round remains, for now, confirmed solely by Mio’s own statement.
