Our story

Every family runs on one person's memory.

School fees. Papa's medicines. The car insurance. That receipt from June. In most homes, one person keeps track of all of it, spread across WhatsApp chats, photos, notes and their own head.

When families live in different cities, or on different continents, it gets harder. A son in London worries about a doctor's appointment in Pune. A mother keeps every renewal date in her head because nobody else knows them.

Computers have become very good at understanding people. We think that should help the people who need it most: families, not only offices. So we started building mio, so nobody has to carry it all alone.

Our vision

Peace of mind for every family.

A world where someone always remembers, plans and takes care of the small things, so the person who looks after everyone can finally rest easy, and the whole family has more time for each other.

Our mission

One assistant the whole family can ask.

Build a personal assistant that anyone in the family can simply ask, from a busy parent to a grandparent. One that remembers what matters, understands how each family lives, and gets things done with their yes.

Our values

What we stand for.

Your life belongs to you

What a family gives mio is theirs. Private by default, shared only when they choose.

Helpful, never pushy

mio gets things ready. People decide. Nothing is booked, bought or sent without a clear yes.

Simple for everyone

If a grandparent can't use it, it isn't finished. Plain words, in the language the family speaks.

Our team

The people behind mio.

Founders who have done it before: built a software company, scaled it to 400+ people, and saw it acquired by a large global company. Now building mio for families everywhere.

Work with us

Better with the services families already trust.

We don't want to replace the platforms families use for travel, movies, shopping, health and home services. We want to bring them closer to the moment of need.

When a family asks mio for something, it reaches the right partner as a clear, ready-to-book request, with only the details the family agrees to share. The booking happens on the partner's own platform, under the partner's own brand.
