Zerolook is a B2B flight shopping API startup that uses machine learning trained on historical fare, schedule, and availability data to predict flight itineraries and prices rather than computing them in real time. The company addresses a critical cost problem for airlines and online travel agencies: as AI agents generate exponentially more searches (potentially reaching 2 million searches per ticket sold by 2030), legacy GDS infrastructure charges per query, making most searches more costly than the revenue they generate. Founded in 2025 by ex-Google Flights EMEA partnerships lead Simone Lini and MIT PhD/ex-Kayak VP of Product George Hadjiyiannis, the team brings deep industry pedigree from Google, Kayak, NVIDIA, and Lastminute.com. The company raised CHF 1.5 million (~€1.6 million) in pre-seed funding in August 2026, led by Playfair, with Vento Ventures, TrueSight Ventures, and Alpha Venture also participating. Zerolook has signed letters of intent with online travel partners ahead of its first pilots and is building out its API v1 and an ML team in Zurich.
