The Platform

Three agents. One complete BD workflow.

Paulo automates the highest-friction parts of international market entry — from candidate discovery to signed agreement.

Paulo Scout

Autonomous Brand Sourcing

Searches global brand databases, e-commerce marketplaces, and trade publications to surface brands matching your criteria.

  • Ranked shortlists with due-diligence summaries
  • Matches against your predefined distributor criteria
  • Covers 50+ markets and brand categories

Paulo Reach

Outbound Negotiation Agent

Contacts shortlisted brands on your behalf, handles multi-turn email threads, qualifies interest — surfaces only warm leads.

  • Personalized first-contact sequences
  • Multi-turn negotiation handling
  • Escalates only deal-ready conversations

Paulo Desk

Deal Management Layer

Tracks every active brand conversation, stores negotiation history, flags stalled threads, and drafts follow-ups.

  • Single dashboard for all active mandates
  • Auto-generated term-sheet summaries
  • Smart follow-up scheduling

The full stack: Source → Vet → Contact → Negotiate → Close. No other tool covers it end-to-end.

How It Works

From criteria to signed deal — autonomously.

Paulo runs the entire BD workflow in the background. You review shortlists, approve outreach, and step in only when a brand is ready to negotiate seriously.

1

Define Your Criteria

Tell Paulo what you're looking for — category, price point, origin market, exclusivity requirements. Set it once.

2

Scout Discovers Candidates

Paulo searches brand databases, e-commerce platforms, and trade publications. Delivers a ranked shortlist with summaries in 24 hours.

3

Reach Handles Outreach

Paulo contacts each brand with a personalized sequence. Handles replies, qualifies interest, and manages multi-turn negotiation threads.

4

You Close the Deal

When a brand is warm and engaged, Paulo flags it for you with a full conversation summary. You step in only at the finish line.

Why Paulo

No other tool closes the full stack.

Competitors stop at outreach or live inside a CRM. Paulo is the only platform that runs the entire international market-entry workflow end-to-end.
