Meet the Founders
AIVO was founded by two platform transition specialists with 15+ years each leading growth for major brands including Visa, DIRECTV, Virgin Voyages, and HBO Max. Having navigated every major platform shift of the past decade—from TV to digital, Google to mobile, traditional media to streaming—they recognized the AI visibility transformation early and built systematic methodology to help mid-market brands capitalize on it.
Dan Muirhead
Co-Founder, Head of Strategy
Dan spent the last 15 years leading growth teams for brands making big strategic bets—Virgin Voyages (80% revenue growth), DIRECTV's streaming pivot (75% cost reduction while scaling subscribers), and HBOMax's Latin America launch (8.6M subscribers in six months).
What he brings to AIVO:
He's a "figure it out" strategist. The kind who gets executive teams aligned, identifies where to focus when everything feels important, and gets cross-functional teams moving in the same direction. At AIVO, Dan focuses on the strategic clarity mid-market companies need: which service tier makes sense, how AI visibility optimization fits into broader growth strategy, and how to get leadership bought in without drowning them in technical jargon.
"I watched companies struggle with the Google-to-mobile shift. They knew it was important but didn't have systematic frameworks to navigate it. We're solving that for AI visibility—giving mid-market companies the strategic clarity and execution capability they need without enterprise complexity."
Personal: Based in Miami. Believes clarity beats cleverness every time. Would rather talk shop on a patio than in a boardroom.

Sebastian Pinzon
Co-Founder, Head of Discovery
Sebastian has spent 15 years mastering the algorithms that matter—first leading Visa's digital media across 14 markets in Latin America, then managing $300M+ media budgets at Publicis, Starcom, and Hearts & Science for brands like DIRECTV, Virgin Voyages, and HBO Max.
What he brings to AIVO:
He's the platform transitions expert. He led teams through the shift from TV to YouTube and digital media. When Sebastian talks about optimizing for AI platforms, he's not guessing. He's applying 15 years of pattern recognition from navigating every major media platform shift. At AIVO, Sebastian is the AIVO guru—the one who figures out what's actually working across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and every emerging AI platform.
"I've led teams through every major platform transition in the last 15 years. AI visibility is the biggest one yet—and the window for early positioning advantage is closing fast. We built AIVO to help mid-market companies move decisively while that window is still open."
Personal: Father, guitar player, devoted Inter Miami fan. Believes in mastering tomorrow's algorithms to scale brands today.

Mindset
Results-focused leaders who understand the AI shift is happening and want expert help navigating it
You're a Great Fit If:
- Your customers research extensively before buying
- You're seeing organic traffic plateau or decline
- You know AI is important but don't know where to start
- You need someone to handle it, not just advise
- You measure success by revenue, not vanity metrics
We're Honest About Who We Can't Help:
- Revenue under $10M (budget insufficient for meaningful results)
- Outside our three verticals (we focus for deeper expertise)
- Looking for overnight miracles (this takes 60-90 days minimum)
- Just want advice without execution (we're hands-on)

About AIVO Questions
AIVO launched in August 2025, founded by Dan Muirhead and Sebastian Pinzon. Both bring 15+ years each leading growth for major brands including Visa, DIRECTV, Virgin Voyages, and HBO Max through multiple platform transitions. While AIVO is new, our platform expertise comes from 30+ years navigating shifts from TV to digital, Google to mobile, and traditional media to streaming. AI visibility is the biggest platform shift yet.
Most tools stop at monitoring—they show you the score but don't explain the game. AIVO delivers intelligence: hypothesis generation (why you're losing with confidence scores), prioritized actions (impact/effort scoring), and built-in site optimization (WordPress/Cloudflare integration). Plus human support at every paid tier (Office Hours + 1:1 time). We combine platform intelligence with optional professional services for customers needing expert execution.
AIVO serves mid-market brands ($10M-$500M revenue) in e-commerce, SaaS, and travel. We built the platform for marketing directors who need intelligence they can act on—not enterprise teams with unlimited budgets. Pricing starts at $149/mo (Starter tier). Free snapshot to start, no credit card required.
