Gaja Ventures is an Agentic AI startup based in Hong Kong, AI-native in its own organization. We build products that automate workflows and reshape how businesses, consumers, and producers interact — starting in the Italian and Asian markets.
We believe the next decade of software won't just use AI — it will be built around AI agents that take action, automate work, and reshape how people and businesses interact. Gaja Ventures is our home for those products: an Agentic AI startup, AI-native in its own organization, building agents and automation for the people, businesses, and communities of Italy and Asia.
Our founders bring native fluency in both regions. We design products with that dual perspective at the core, rather than as an afterthought.
Incorporated and operating from Hong Kong, we tap into the city's role as a launchpad for Greater China and Asia — a fast-moving environment for AI agent deployment, regional partnerships, and cross-border opportunities across services, commerce, and trade.
With deep roots in Italy, we focus on building agentic AI products genuinely tailored to Italian language, culture, and economic structure — from voice agents for everyday users to platforms automating workflows for Italy's cooperative and small-business ecosystem.
We are currently building three agentic AI products, each automating workflows or reshaping interactions in our home markets.
A native Italian voice agent that handles real tasks for individuals and small businesses — booking services, navigating bureaucracy, summarizing information, and answering domain-specific questions in Italian, with the cultural fluency global assistants lack.
A new kind of job marketplace where AI agents match candidates and employers on real fit — skills, context, ambition — and handle the work both sides hate: screening, scheduling, and outreach. Starting in Italy, with an architecture built for European and cross-border expansion.
A platform that brings AI agents to Italy's cooperative sector — automating coordination, decision-making, and member-engagement workflows for cooperatives, associations, and community-led organizations central to the Italian economy.
Gaja Ventures was founded in 2025 as an equally-held partnership between its two founders, who together cover the full Italy–Hong Kong corridor.
Extensive leadership experience in the retail and consumer industry, with CFO and COO roles in businesses with turnover in excess of US $400M per year, and operating expertise spanning both Asia and Italy. At Gaja, leads product, agentic AI strategy, and the Italian-market ventures — driving the product roadmap and partnerships across Italy and Europe.
Background in venture capital across Hong Kong and Greater China, with experience at funds managing in excess of US $1.5B in AUM and at a prominent Swiss family office. Leads operations, regional partnerships, and the company's Asia footprint — and serves as Gaja's primary point of contact for investors and capital partners. Holds the Company Secretary role for the Hong Kong entity.
