Romio is a services app, like Instagram + Airbnb.
It is a marketplace where users can book services (Housekeeper, Personal Chef, Cat Sitter, etc.) recommended by friends or local experts to replace reviews from strangers on the internet.
Users and service providers receive cash referrals for inviting their friends. Super users reach GOAT status and receive additional cash bonuses linked to stock-like instruments, relative to their participation in the growth of the platform.
Romio is (re)defining Social Capitalism (a more intelligent, humane and profitable business model than traditional capitalism) by architecting features that drive positive human economic impact. This in turn drives measurable profitability and asset appreciation for shareholders.
Romio raised over $24m from family offices and strategic investors, including Bob Gelfond (early Amazon investor) and Nigel Morris (previous member of META’s advertising board / ex CEO of Aegis Dentsu).
The company assembled networks of influencers across local verticals that have 200m+ user reach. Romio’s team and advisors were previously with Google, Uber, Swimply, Compass, GrubHub, and Goldman Sachs.
The company was started by Tarik Sansal who previously founded onTargetJobs, backed by Warburg Pincus and sold to DICE.

Our current economic system is leaving too many of us grinding more for less. That is why we're introducing a more humane, intelligent, and profitable model.
One that actually aligns positive human, economic, and social impact. This is how we redefine Social Capitalism.
Together, let’s make it possible for all to thrive, not just survive.
