What they’re building

Zero brings prospecting, sales and customer work into one shared record. Its agents help keep that record current and prepare tasks that teams would otherwise coordinate across separate tools.

Co-founders Tuomo Riekki and Santtu Koivumäki previously worked at Smartly.io. They started Zero around the amount of administrative work involved in running a commercial team.

The round

Zero raised $10.3 million in a seed round led by Primary Venture Partners. The company announced the funding as it opened the product to the public after working with private beta customers.
