Coffee with Coco: Menlo Park
Hi everyone, I’m Nguyen, cofounder of Coco and a Vietnamese founder building out of Melbourne.
I’m in the Bay Area from 24 October to 1 November to meet customers and investors, and I’d love to catch up with the VietBay community while I’m here. For those in the South Bay who find SF a trek, come say hi at Coffeebar on Sunday morning. Drop in for 10 or 15 minutes or stay the whole two hours.
Coffee is on Coco! I'll put on a tab and cover your order.
About Coco
Coco provides preventive controls for AI agents in regulated finance. Payment providers and lenders want agents in production, yet every action an agent takes has to be correct and stand up to an auditor. Coco stops the wrong agent action before it executes. It checks each action against the institution’s own rules and live business state, and records every decision for risk and compliance teams. We’re part of Startmate Winter ‘26.
Whether you build with AI, work in fintech, healthtech, risk or compliance, invest in early stage startups, or want a good chat over coffee, I’d love to meet you.
Also next week: Startmate Demo Day on Tuesday 27 October at Dogpatch Studios, San Francisco. Come support us there too!
