Jelou, a startup that builds AI agents for WhatsApp transactions, raised $10M in a Series A round led by Wellington Access Ventures. The company’s “Brain” platform enables businesses to automate financial operations like payments and identity checks directly within messaging apps, having already processed over $100 million in transactions across Latin America. The new capital will fund its expansion into the U.S. market and the further development of its agentic AI capabilities.
