Zero

> Zero is an AI-native GTM operating system for seed to Series B startups. It combines a complete CRM of record with AI agents that research accounts, enrich data, draft outreach, manage follow-ups, and keep customer records current.

Zero replaces fragmented CRM, enrichment, sequencing, workflow, reporting, and note-taking tools with one workspace. It is designed for lean teams that want to spend less time administering sales software and more time building customer relationships.

What Zero is

- A unified GTM platform combining CRM, lead data, enrichment, outreach sequences, automations, reporting, and AI agents

- AI-native: agents can use workspace context across contacts, companies, deals, emails, meetings, tasks, notes, product usage, billing data, and support issues

- Built for startups: founders, AEs, SDRs, RevOps, customer success, and growth teams can configure and use Zero without a dedicated CRM administrator

- An alternative to HubSpot, Salesforce, Attio, Pipedrive, Folk, and combinations such as Clay plus a separate CRM
