Acho

What Acho does

Acho Software Inc. is a privately held, venture-backed software company founded in 2020 and headquartered in San Francisco. It sells a low-code, AI-powered data application development platform that lets operations leaders and data professionals connect, transform, and productize business data into custom internal applications without extensive coding. The core technology is an AI Dev Engine positioned as the first AI capable of writing full-stack software from natural language prompts, paired with a Data App Builder, 100+ pre-built data connectors spanning databases, CRMs, BI, ERP, and productivity tools, an Event Broker for reverse ETL and RPA, and a Python SDK.

The platform is sold through a freemium, product-led growth motion. The Free tier provides 5GB of data processing and templates for self-serve evaluation; the Creator tier is priced at $75 per creator per month billed annually with 50GB processing and unlimited connectors; and the Enterprise tier offers custom pricing with on-premise deployment, custom SAML/SSO, dedicated solution engineers, and bulk seat pricing. Acho's go-to-market combines digital self-service with a field-sales motion for enterprise accounts, supported by content marketing, ROI calculators, and a library of live demo applications.

Acho is backed by Y Combinator and reportedly serves 100+ organizations including Boston Scientific, Danaher, Synopsys, Tend Health, USB, Harbor Compliance, CarDoor, and Uniglobe Travel Designers. The company holds SOC II, GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS compliance. A February 2022 seed round led by Goat Capital with Capital X, Liquid 2 Ventures, and MAGIC Fund provided initial institutional capital, and Acho recently launched Aden, an AI Operation Agents product line to extend the platform from app building toward autonomous AI operations.
