Yozo
AI growth agent that runs retention and conversion marketing for online stores.
Yozo.ai is a startup headquartered in Abu Dhabi, UAE, founded in 2025 by Hossam Ali. It builds an AI 'growth agent' for e-commerce merchants that connects to a store's sales channels, including Shopify, and autonomously plans, launches, tests, and optimizes retention and conversion marketing campaigns across email, WhatsApp, and SMS, with merchants reviewing and approving campaigns before they go live. In early 2026 the company closed a $1.7 million pre-seed funding round co-led by Access Bridge Ventures and Disruptech Ventures, with participation from Arzan VC, Oraseya Capital, Plus VC, Suhail Ventures, Glint Ventures, and M-Empire Angels, earmarked to expand the product and team and to grow beyond the Middle East.
