Vambe

What Vambe does

Vambe is a Chile-based AI company that builds a multi-channel conversational commerce platform designed to automate B2C sales workflows for Latin American businesses. The core platform centralizes customer interactions across WhatsApp, Instagram Direct, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, email, and SMS, using autonomous AI agents to qualify leads, schedule appointments, update CRMs, and execute follow-ups 24/7 without human intervention. The product is extended by three modules: Vambe Ads, which uses real sales conversation data to build lookalike audiences and optimize advertising spend on Meta and Google; PandaAI, an internal assistant that helps users build and edit workflows using natural language; and Vambe Connect, which provides no-code integration with CRMs, payment gateways, and calendars.

The underlying technology combines proprietary AI trained on conversational sales data with a multi-agent architecture, leveraging third-party foundation models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, and Meta AI. Vambe holds Meta Business Partner and NVIDIA Inception Program status, and is pursuing ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certifications. The platform addresses three primary use cases: e-commerce lead-to-close automation, appointment-based scheduling businesses, and consultative sales organizations with complex qualification requirements.

Vambe generates revenue through annual SaaS subscriptions with quote-based tiered pricing for mid-market and SMB customers, distributed through direct sales, inside sales, self-serve, and a partner program of referrers and implementers. The company reported reaching $1 million ARR within eight months of its 2024 launch and serves 1,500–2,000 companies across Chile, Mexico, and pending markets. Total disclosed funding is approximately $18 million across a 2024 seed and a December 2025 Series A led by Monashees with participation from Cathay Latam, Atlantico, Tekton Ventures, and existing investors, with the company operating a team of approximately 120 people.
