About Zamp:
Zamp is a financial technology company with a bold vision of reimagining the future of finance.
Finance teams globally face manual, repetitive, and cumbersome tasks. We at Zamp want to empower them with time, calm, money, and joy, tackling harder problems. We foresee four key themes shaping the finance org of the future:
Increased Connectivity: Fragmentation across banks, partners, and platforms complicates finance. We envision a seamlessly connected future, abstracting away complexity for real-time data access.
AI Automation: Manual tasks like data transformation and reconciliation will be automated by intelligent AI agents, allowing teams to focus on strategic endeavours.
Democratised Intelligence: AI-driven insights will be universally accessible, empowering better and faster decision-making, leading to exponential growth for companies.
Evolving Financial Infrastructure: Regulatory-compliant advancements like real-time payments and blockchain technology will revolutionise financial exchange, driving efficiency and adaptation.

Our seed funding round raised ~$22Mn from Sequoia Capital, Dara Khosrowshahi (CEO, Uber), Tony Xu (CEO, Doordash), Marcelo Claure (ex-CEO, Softbank International), and other prominent angel investors.
