About Zauber

After co-founding and scaling Forto to over $600M in funding, I took a step back to reflect on what's still broken in global logistics. The answer was clear: it's still a human-first, spreadsheet-heavy industry, full of repetitive processes and broken system interoperability.

With the rise of AI agents, we now have the tools to rethink that from the ground up. Zauber builds autonomous agents for the global logistics industry, AI workers that handle operational tasks, talk to systems and humans alike, and get better every day.

We're already live with global logistics leaders in Europe and Asia

Backed by one of Europe's top early-stage funds
