Markopolo AI aims to revolutionize global commerce through its new revenue agent while accelerating innovation from Silicon Valley’s hardest and most prestigious residency programs, HF0.
Markopolo AI, an intelligent system that reads human behavior and turns that understanding into revenue. When customers leave without buying, Markopolo AI brings them back. The AI understands what your shoppers truly care about, then follows up with personalized, 1:1 marketing across email, SMS, and even voice calls.
Markopolo AI, which promises to redefine global e-commerce personalization, arrives as the company celebrates a major international milestone: the acceptance of its co-founders, Tasfia Tasbin and Rubaiyat Farhan, into HF0, one of the world’s most selective founder residencies, hosted in San Francisco, USA.
HF0 is one of the world’s most selective founder residencies: just 10 teams are chosen per cohort from thousands of global applicants, with acceptance rates at or below .01%. (For comparison, Y- Combinator takes over 100 startups per batch.)
By securing a place at HF0, Tasbin and Farhan join a select fraternity of technical founders deep-diving into the next frontier of AI innovation. The team already got direct resources and advice from top companies like OpenAI, Midjourney etc.
The journey of Markopolo AI is a testament to the power of resilience and vision. From their roots in Dhaka, Tasbin and Farhan have successfully scaled a product that is now recognized by the world’s most discerning investors and founders. Both founders are determined to make “Made in Bangladesh” software a reality to the whole world.
The HF0 acceptance validates this ambition: in a landscape where most high-tech startups are based in Silicon Valley or major Western hubs, Markopolo AI stands out as a first ever Bangladeshi startup scaling at world-class pace. The founders’ selection into HF0 signals not just recognition but a bridge between local roots and global horizons.
Markopolo AI’s new AI Revenue Agent aims to solve e-commerce’s biggest problem: customer disconnect. For two decades, marketers have called it personalization when they merely insert a customer’s name into an email: the famous “Hi {FirstName}” approach. Markopolo challenges this idea entirely.
The new product is designed to move beyond simple automation to deep intelligence, capable of understanding a billion humans as individuals. Instead of sending a generic message to "Hi Sarah," the AI Revenue Agent sees and communicates with "Hi Sarah-who-browses-at-lunch-compares-prices-and-buys-on-mobile-after-reading-reviews."
True personalization, Markopolo argues, means understanding the customer’s unique journey, the hesitation at checkout, the channel they prefer, their communication rhythm.
Markopolo’s mission is simple yet ambitious: in five years, every e-commerce transaction will be guided by an AI revenue agent. And merchants will soon have to choose between adopting a sophisticated AI agent like theirs or struggling to build their own.
Markopolo is already three years ahead of the competition. Their aim is not just to sell a product, but to recover $100 billion in lost revenue by 2030 for merchants worldwide, and to ensure that no customer is ever treated as an anonymous segment again.
"Our vision is to become a multibillion-dollar global company within the next two years. HF0 accelerates that mission as we bring world-class AI innovation from Dhaka to Silicon Valley and onward," said Tasfia Tasbin, CEO & Co-founder of Markopolo AI.
"We’ve created cutting-edge technology for the AI industry. This is the kind of engineering that finally makes true personalization at global scale possible," added Rubaiyat Farhan, CTO & Co-founder of Markopolo AI.
One visitor. One agent. One journey. Millions of times over. This is Markopolo AI, the future of commerce, built from Bangladesh, accelerating through Silicon Valley, and transforming how the world sells, shops and experiences brands.
