London-based Zaro has raised a $5.1m funding round to develop its custom AI agent platform. The startup, which helps businesses build tailored artificial intelligence agents, secured the investment led by Cherry Ventures with participation from notable angel investors.

Among the backers are Thomas Wolf, founder of Hugging Face, and Thomas Dohmke, CEO of GitHub. Their involvement signals strong confidence in Zaro's approach to democratizing AI agent development for enterprise customers seeking customized solutions.

The investment arrives as AI agent technology gains traction across industries, with companies racing to integrate autonomous AI capabilities into their operations. Zaro's platform aims to simplify this process for organizations lacking in-house AI expertise.

This funding positions Zaro to expand its team and accelerate product development in an increasingly competitive AI agent market, where established players and startups alike compete for enterprise adoption.
