What Zero does
Zero builds a go-to-market operating system in which AI agents handle prospecting, outreach, deal tracking and customer-success work that a traditional CRM would otherwise store as manual data entry. The company says its agents automatically research and enrich account and contact records so sales teams do not have to. Zero is based in Helsinki and was founded by former Smartly.io executives Tuomo Riekki and Santtu Koivumaki. TechFundingNews reports the company opened its product to the public in September 2026 after a private beta.
