OneByZero raises US$20 million to expand its enterprise AI business

OneByZero said on 5 October 2026 that it had raised US$20 million in a Series A led by Jungle Ventures, its first external funding. The Singapore-headquartered company plans to spend the money on expanding its engineering teams, entering Japan and developing its enterprise AI platform and agents.

Its business centres on working inside customers’ existing systems. OneByZero says its forward-deployed engineers help enterprise teams identify uses for AI, build and deploy systems, then stay involved to operate and improve them. It reports deployments across financial services, telecommunications and retail.

The software underpinning that work is NEO, which the company describes as both a deployment platform and a control layer for enterprise AI. Its stated features include reusable components and a record of every agent action. OneByZero calls its agents “AI Coworkers” and says they have defined roles and controls, with people retaining judgement and accountability. These are the company’s descriptions of its approach, not tested results.

The planned Japan entry would add a local team to a business that reports operations in nine markets, including Singapore, India, Australia and the US. OneByZero also intends to move into conglomerates, healthcare and the public sector, while building industry templates on NEO and helping customers develop AI using open-weight and small language models.

OneByZero said its revenue had more than doubled annually over the preceding three years. The announcement did not disclose revenue totals, leaving the size of the business behind that growth figure unclear.
