Confronting the Founder of PROCESIO: Automate Anything With #nocode | Ownership Economy #podcast

In this episode, we are joined by Darzan Mihai, the Co-Founder of PROCESIO. Mihai was born and raised in Romania and has 11+ years of experience in software engineering and SMB management, focusing on growing high-performing teams in the B2B software industry.

Mihai and his co-founder bootstrapped PROCESIO from their company Ringhel, which provides ERP & CRM software for power & gas companies on the Romanian market since 2011.

Having identified a need to develop integrations and automation faster using pre-built components for their own clients, they decided to take it a step further and create an enterprise-grade platform that any company or individual with zero to advanced programming skills could use.

In Summer 2020, PROCESIO raised their first seed funding round which allowed them to build the MVP. In Spring 2021, they raised a bridge funding round and launched the platform in private beta mode.

Then in August 2021, PROCESIO was launched publicly, and their team has grown to 16 members.

Aside from PROCESIO, Mihai is involved with a ton of other startups and angel investments. In 2019 Mihai joined Sparking Capital as LP and Board Member, and TechAngels Romania and Angels Den Funding as members. Since 2020, he also became a Partner at Smart Impact Capital.

PROCESIO is an enterprise-grade iPaaS to streamline software, integrate data, and automate processes using no-code and low-code technology.

In July 2020, PROCESIO set out to raise a $400,000 round to fund their vision for their No-Code Platform-as-a-Service for non-technical people, empowering companies to adjust faster to market changes, with lower costs, using existing business personnel. 

PROCESIO successfully raised over $500,000 from 74 investors -- far exceeding their goal.
