ZeroComplex AI Secures Substantial Pre-Seed Funding to Drive AI Integration Across Africa
ZeroComplex AI, a burgeoning player in the field of artificial intelligence, has successfully secured significant pre-seed funding from a consortium of distinguished investors. This financial backing is earmarked to advance the company’s mission of facilitating the seamless integration of AI into digital infrastructures across the African continent.
On a global scale, there has been an unparalleled surge in the development and adoption of AI in recent years. The transformative impact of AI is evident across diverse sectors such as finance, health, education, software development, and e-commerce, revolutionizing work processes and problem-solving approaches. Its ability to enhance efficiency, streamline complex operations, process vast datasets, and deliver swift and precise analyses surpasses human capabilities.
Forward-thinking companies worldwide are increasingly interested in incorporating AI into their existing systems to harness its transformative potential. ZeroComplex AI is at the forefront of making this integration process effortless for organizations, irrespective of their size or industry. The company harnesses the power of AI to address workflow challenges, propelling businesses and organizations to new heights globally.
The brainchild of Kehinde Olateru, Adegbenga Agoro, and Olusola Adebayo, ZeroComplex AI emerges from the visionary minds behind Crenet, a B2B technology consulting and implementation company specializing in digital products for enterprise organizations. The founders, with their extensive experience in technology implementation projects across diverse sectors, recognized the profound opportunities presented by AI in simplifying business processes. Years dedicated to constructing AI implementation projects equipped the team with the requisite skills and competencies to establish ZeroComplex AI.
Discussing the transition from Crenet to ZeroComplex AI, Kehinde Olateru, Co-founder of Crenet and former Head of Flutterwave Labs, states, “Based on the conversations we were having with customers who wanted to know how AI would impact their businesses, we realized that AI integration will be one of the toughest things for a lot of businesses, especially businesses that have existing digital infrastructure. So we decided to put together AI workflows that are specific to different use cases for a lot of these businesses, regardless of their size.” This realization led to the creation of ZeroComplex AI, with the primary goal of simplifying the AI integration process for businesses through its tailored AI workflows.
Pitch2Win and the subsequent funding round played pivotal roles in ZeroComplex AI’s journey. In 2023, the startup secured the second position in the Pitch2Win competition, capturing the attention of Olumide Soyombo, founder of Voltron Capital and one of the judges at the event. This fortuitous encounter resulted in investments from Voltron Capital, Henry Kaestner’s Kaleo Ventures, Alpha Gaps, Velocity Digital, and numerous other esteemed angel investors.
The oversubscribed seed funding round signifies a resounding vote of confidence in ZeroComplex AI’s potential. The company has already piloted three AI workflow solutions, addressing use cases in finance, education, health, and various industries. Looking ahead, ZeroComplex AI aspires to pioneer additional AI workflow solutions across a diverse array of global industries.
