- Zerolook
Participated · Seed · Aug 2026
Zerolook uses machine-learning models trained on historical fares, schedules and availability to predict flight options and prices, returning each prediction with a confidence score. The product sacrifices some real-time accuracy in order to answer far larger volumes of search queries at lower cost compared with live pricing systems. The founders—Simone Lini (ex-Google Flights/Waynaut) and George Hadjiyiannis (PhD, MIT; ex-Kayak/Google/Nvidia/eBay)—intend to validate the approach through pilot programs with online travel partners. Zerolook plans to launch its first API and expand its machine-learning team in Zurich using proceeds from the pre-seed round. The company cites industry trends—searches per ticket sold rising from hundreds to tens of thousands and projected to reach millions by 2030—that drive demand for lower-cost search infrastructure. It operates in a market for flight data APIs valued at $1.72 billion in 2025 and projected to grow to $4.67 billion by 2033, and the pilots are intended to determine whether predictive pricing is sufficiently accurate for airlines and OTAs.
- CiaoDott
Participated · Seed · Mar 2026
CiaoDott builds a vertical voice AI platform for the Italian medical sector that autonomously handles appointment bookings and frequent patient enquiries by phone. Founded in 2025, the company says its solution currently manages about 70% of calls and has secured collaborations and contracted revenues with clinics including Politerapico Monza, Benacus Lab, and Centro Medico Manara. CiaoDott targets inefficiencies in a market where the phone remains the primary channel for appointments and a sizeable share of calls go unanswered. The company plans to expand its platform to serve reservation needs in orthopaedics, dentistry, and dermatology and to invest in strategic marketing to grow its customer base. Its recent €1.5M Pre-Seed funding is intended to accelerate product development and commercial rollout across Italy.
