Zeroset (2025)
About

Akshat Kannan is the Co-Founder and CEO of Zeroset, an applied AI research lab building Nebula, a self-improving memory and state layer for autonomous enterprise agents.

Before founding

At just 18 years old, Akshat dropped out of Stanford University to co-found Zeroset, driven by a conviction that AI agents lack the operational context needed to function inside real enterprises.

Founder Insights

Akshat identified a critical gap in enterprise AI: off-the-shelf models have no understanding of how a specific business actually operates, with relevant knowledge scattered across CRMs, ticketing tools, and internal docs.

Experience

Under his leadership, Zeroset emerged from stealth and secured $5.2M in pre-seed funding co-led by Gradient and 2048 Ventures, with participation from Leblon Capital, validating the company's thesis on durable agent memory.

Scale & Impact

Zeroset's flagship product Nebula is in closed research preview targeting enterprises in manufacturing, supply-chain, and financial research, with the company scaling model training and early enterprise deployments.
