The AI go-to-market operating system built to replace the CRM
Zero builds an AI-native go-to-market operating system meant to replace the traditional CRM rather than sit beside it: instead of asking reps to log activity, it reads the customer relationship from first touch through onboarding, expansion and support, keeping records "zero-click" and running AI agents for enrichment, buying-signal detection and outreach. It was founded in 2024 in Helsinki by CEO Tuomo Riekki, a Smartly.io co-founder, and Santtu Koivumäki, who ran Smartly's go-to-market across five markets — the two helped scale that company past $100M ARR — and the team works across Helsinki and New York. Zero raised a $2.7M pre-seed led by 20VC in December 2024 and a $10.3M (€8.93M) seed led by Primary Venture Partners on 15 September 2026, with Inception Fund, Defiant and Greens participating and angels from the founders of Lovable, Supercell, Langdock and Silo AI; no valuation has been disclosed at either round.

Is Zero publicly traded — can you buy Zero stock?
No. Zero is a private company — its shares are not listed on any exchange and there is no ticker. The routes to exposure are pre-IPO secondary marketplaces and funds (accredited investors), employee tender offers when the company runs one, and public companies with read-through exposure. QuantLogix maps every route it can verify for Zero on its Pre-IPO Access Desk.
Answers are derived from the roster record shown on this page — filing status, last round and confirmed marks. Where the record is silent, the answer says so rather than guessing.
