About the founder
José Renato Colaferro
Founder of ZexIA. A business owner who learned to build.
He has been an entrepreneur since 2009 and has co-founded more than five companies in online education and solar energy. ZexIA’s way of working comes from that management experience: the starting point is the owner’s operation and the owner’s numbers, not the technology.
In 2024 he started applying AI to his own operation, with agents that screened leads on WhatsApp. That is how ZexIA was born. Today the company runs five systems in production, with agents that read sales conversations, extract data from medical test results, generate contracts and prepare meeting briefings.
He brings the same method to the classroom: AI workshops for executives, including the leadership of a large education group, the Workshop AI for Friends and the Claude Code mentoring program.
He is an Anthropic partner in the Claude Partner Network.
