OneByZero raises $20M Series A led by Jungle Ventures

Singapore-based enterprise AI deployment company OneByZero has raised a $20 million Series A round led by Jungle Ventures. The funding was announced on October 5, 2026.

What OneByZero Does

OneByZero (OBZ) helps large, regulated organisations become AI-native. Founded in 2023, the company takes a deployment-first approach: it embeds forward-deployed engineers inside client companies and pairs them with governed AI agents — described as AI Coworkers — orchestrated by its NEO platform.

NEO acts as a control layer that defines what AI may do and records every agent action. This governance-first architecture is aimed squarely at the requirements of regulated industries, where auditability and control over autonomous systems are critical.

The platform is built on AWS.

Who It Serves

OneByZero works mainly with financial services, telecommunications and retail enterprises. Its footprint spans nine markets across Asia Pacific and the US.

Traction

According to the company, revenue has more than doubled annually since its founding.

The Round at a Glance

Why It Matters

Enterprise AI adoption has moved from experimentation to production, but regulated organisations face a persistent gap: deploying capable AI agents while maintaining governance, oversight and a record of what those agents actually did. OneByZero's model combines human forward-deployed engineers with a platform layer that constrains and logs agent behaviour — a combination aimed at buyers who cannot afford ungoverned automation.

The Series A gives the company capital to expand its deployment footprint across its existing markets in Asia Pacific and the US, and to deepen the NEO platform as demand from financial services, telecommunications and retail enterprises continues.

For acquirers and strategic investors watching the enterprise AI services space, OneByZero represents a category worth tracking: AI deployment and governance for regulated industries, delivered through an embedded engineering model rather than pure software licensing.
