Your business,
already read.
Every morning.

Navigo is the proactive company brain - one layer between you and the scattered tools your business already runs on. It watches all of it, tells you the few things that matter, and with your approval, does the next step.

We don’t sell it as software. We partner with established Swiss operators and build AI-native companies on it - venture #1 with Umano AG.

  • Your existing stack.

    Mail, calendar, ERP, files - the tools you already run, read into one isolated place.

  • The Navigo platform.

    One brain across all of it - reads, drafts, prepares, and asks before anything goes out.

  • You steer.

    Only the decisions reach you. Approve, correct, or redirect - judgment stays human.

What we believe
01

Software should come to you.

Every tool waits to be asked. A company brain reads the whole business and arrives with the few things that matter - management by exception, not another inbox.

02

AI removes toil. Humans keep judgment.

Transcribing, extracting, drafting, filing - that is work, not judgment. The platform carries the first; your people keep the second.

03

Proof over promises.

We don’t sell AI transformation. We run companies on our platform - if it can’t carry a real business, it isn’t ready.

04

Trust is structural.

Isolation, permissions, audit - enforced in the database and attached to every action. Trust you can inspect, not a page that asks for it.

The model

We build AI-native companies with established operators.

We form joint ventures with Swiss operators who know their industry, and run its next company on our platform - AI-native from day one.

A joint venture, not a software licence

We build and run the venture together, jointly owned. Both sides keep skin in the game.

You bring the industry, we bring the brain

Your track record, client relationships, and domain judgment. Our platform underneath, running the operation.

Software economics on services work

The platform absorbs the toil between the decisions, so revenue grows without headcount growing with it.

The industry calls this the AI rollup.

The 2026 playbook: build the platform first, put real service work on it, and - the playbook’s bet - re-rate 5-10% service margins toward software’s 30-40%.

General Catalyst put ~$1.5B behind it. Long Lake reports ~$100M EBITDA inside two years; Crescendo, contact-center margins around four times a traditional shop’s. Their numbers, not ours.

Ours is the partnership variant: no buyout. The operator keeps their company - name, licence, judgment. We bring the platform. The upside is shared.

And the timing is deliberate. Swiss staffing has shrunk three years running - temp hours -8.8%, permanent placement -22.8% in the first half of 2025.

We read that as the argument, not the objection. In a shrinking market the lowest-cost operator wins, and in a sector of roughly 3,500 mostly small firms, plenty would rather run the next model than defend the old one.

The ventures

One venture in build, two workloads running, room for more.

Services cash flow funds the platform; every venture proves it in a new vertical.

Why us. The hard parts already run in production: Swiss-German transcription, consent-gated placements, isolation enforced in the database. Every vertical runs on the same primitives - ingest, extract, draft, approve, audit - so each new venture starts from what the last one proved.

How it works

One thing it noticed, end to end.

A contract that renews itself if nobody looks. Here is the whole chain: what Navigo read, what it did about it, and where you take over.

Step 1

It knows your business.

Mail, meetings, contracts, deadlines, numbers - pulled into one isolated workspace and actually read. Every answer it gives cites the document it came from.

Sits on top ofOutlookWhatsAppOdooYour ERPYour bankYour files
Step 2

It does the work.

It re-reads the whole business while you sleep, so it catches the thing nobody was looking for - and prepares the next step. The draft waits for a person. Nothing leaves the company on its own, and every row in the log is the same row, whether a human or the AI wrote it.

Step 3

You steer.

Every finding opens into a conversation. Ask what it means, or tell it to do something else - and it does something else. The feed and the chat are the same assistant.

↺ and it keeps watching

Partner with us

Your industry could be next.

If you run a Swiss services business and know exactly where the hours go - let’s talk. We take on one new venture at a time, and build it properly. Navigo is built compliance-first, by founding teams in Switzerland and the Netherlands.

Ask the brain

Is Navigo right for your business?

The brain’s job is to know a company and answer for it. Describe your business and see how the model maps onto it, or just ask what Navigo is.

Or go straight to the form ↓

Answers come from the same reviewed facts as this page - for everything beyond them, talk to the founders. Chats are stored anonymously for 90 days; privacy.

What we look for
  • An established Swiss services business - years of clients, not a pitch deck.
  • An owner who knows exactly which work eats the margins.
  • Appetite to co-own something new - a venture, not a vendor contract.

Your company stays yours - name, licence, client relationships. The venture we build together is jointly owned. No buyout.
