Zero is an AI-powered CRM and sales automation platform founded in 2024 by Tuomo Riekki and Santtu Koivumäki, who previously scaled Smartly.io to a $100M+ ARR martech leader. The company has developed a "zero-click" CRM that automates manual tasks like lead enrichment, buying signal detection, and outreach messaging by leveraging AI to unify customer data and streamline workflows. Zero raised $2.7 million in pre-seed funding in December 2024 led by 20VC, with participation from notable investors and angels including James Hawkins from PostHog. The platform aims to replace traditional go-to-market tools with an intuitive, comprehensive solution that automatically updates customer information and identifies optimal prospects.
