Zaro, an AI agent startup, has closed a $5.1 million seed round led by Cherry Ventures and backed by GitHub co-founder Chris Wanstrath, Hugging Face founder Thomas Wolf, and other venture investors. The startup targets agentic AI workflows for enterprises, joining a crowded but well-funded segment.
The backing from infrastructure and open-source heavyweights signals market confidence in agent tooling as a distinct business layer. Zaro joins cohorts like Replicant and Grit now bankrolled by tier-1 VCs betting on workflow-automation moats.
