Avify, the inventory and sales management platform, announces its $ $800K USD pre-seed round

San José, Costa Rica: A few days into December, Avify announces the close of its first pre-seed funding round, raising a total of $ $800K USD.

The round included renowned funds such as 500 Startups, Zemu VC (China), Ganas Ventures (USA), Amplifica Capital (Mexico), Venture DO (Dominican Republic), Qapu VC (Peru), Caricaco (Costa Rica), and prominent angels such as Jaime Matus, Rafael Barroso, Adriel Araujo (Hackmetrix), among other angel investors from Costa Rica’s startup ecosystem.

The investment will go toward accelerating the development of its conversational commerce engine, as well as a network of contracts for managing consignment orders and physical retail locations, including expanding its operations in several Central American countries. The funds will also be used for market exploration, growing the academy, and impact projects to continue supporting its community of entrepreneurs in the region.

Avify offers a subscription-based platform that allows any business to maintain centralized inventory, 100% connected to sales through WhatsApp, and update digital and physical channels in real time. By automating manual processes such as creating shipping labels, sending orders, updating inventory, and processing payments, Avify has become an indispensable tool for operational efficiency.

Pedro Gutiérrez, CEO & Co-founder, commented: "The investment will allow us to advance our commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions for all businesses. We’re excited to undertake projects that will benefit not only our company, but also the business community and many businesses across the region."

Avify recently earned acclaim by taking first place in the Startup Avenue Competition in the Seed & Early Stage category at the Volcano Summit in Guatemala. This recognition has been instrumental in attracting the attention of investors and funds, giving the company an opportunity to share its story, experience, and vision.

Looking ahead, Avify plans to strengthen its academy with free workshops and resources, and expand in-person gatherings to Central American countries where it is gaining a stronger presence, such as Guatemala and Honduras.

Pedro Gutiérrez, CEO & Co-founder, shared his thoughts on this milestone: "For two years, we’ve invested thousands of hours listening to businesses to build the foundation of what Avify is today, and we’re ready to accelerate adoption and position ourselves as the standard tool for the future of commerce."

Avify’s founders are Pedro Gutiérrez, Pilar Sánchez, Pablo Gutiérrez and Alexis Gonzalez, all based in Costa Rica, where the company operates. It currently serves customers in Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Honduras, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and the United States, and expects to expand further in the coming months.
