OneByZero Raises US$20 Million Series A Led by Jungle Ventures to Scale Enterprise AI Across Asia Pacific

OneByZero (OBZ), a Singapore-headquartered Frontier AI Deployment Company, today announced it has raised US$20 million in Series A led by Jungle Ventures, the company's first external funding.

Over the past three years, OBZ has deployed AI inside some of the region's largest and most regulated enterprises across financial services, telecommunications, and retail industries, and has more than doubled its revenue annually. As a Frontier AI Deployment Company, OBZ works directly with enterprise teams to identify where AI can create value, build it into existing business systems and workflows, and continue improving it once it is in production.

“Every enterprise can now get access to powerful AI. The value comes when it runs inside the systems that run the business, under the company's own rules, and gets better every week. That is the work we do every day, and this funding lets us do more of it, in more markets, and more industries.”

OBZ's deployments are already helping enterprises automate more than 90% of some customer-facing interactions, deliver measurable cost savings, and accelerate the delivery of complex data modernization by 50%.

How OneByZero works

• Build with customers. OBZ's forward-deployed engineers work alongside customer teams to identify where AI can create value, build and deploy the system, then stay involved to run and improve it.
• Local teams in every market. Customers work with teams who know their context, regulators, languages, and systems.
• People and AI working together. Each team combines engineers with AI Coworkers, governed AI agents with defined roles and controls. AI handles the high-volume work and speed, while people retain judgement and accountability.
• Built on NEO. Every engagement runs on NEO, OBZ's AI deployment platform and the control layer behind enterprise AI workforces. Reusable components and built-in governance, including a record of every agent action, make each deployment faster and safer than the last.

“We have built NEO so companies can define what AI is allowed to do, where human judgement is required and how every system is governed. That foundation lets them introduce more capable AI without losing control.”

Use of funds

• Business Expansion. Grow forward-deployed engineering and customer relationships across the nine markets OBZ operates in today, including Australia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, the US, and Vietnam.
• Open Japan. Build a local team and bring OBZ's forward-deployed model to one of the region's largest enterprise markets.
• Open new industries. Extend beyond financial services and telecommunications into conglomerates, healthcare, and the public sector.
• Invest in NEO and AI Coworkers. Build industry templates on NEO and support enterprises with building their own AI on open-weight and small language models.

“OneByZero stood out because it is already doing what much of the enterprise AI market is still talking about. The team has spent three years deploying AI inside large, complex organizations and delivering measurable results. We believe that puts OneByZero in a strong position as more enterprises across Asia Pacific and Japan move AI from experimentation into their core operations.”
