Zepo Intelligence backed by TIN Capital, Kibo Ventures and eCAPITAL with $15M funding to Protect Workspaces from AI-Driven Social Engineering

Zepo Intelligence, the company redefining human-centric security, announced today the closing of a $15 million Seed investment round. The investment, backed by HSD partner TIN Capital, alongside with Kibo Ventures and eCAPITAL will allow Zepo to expand its team and scale its proprietary technology globally as AI-driven social engineering rapidly escalates into one of the most persistent and costly challenges for security leaders in modern organisations.

Zepo’s platform enables organisations to simulate real-world, AI-driven social engineering attacks (deepfakes, voice calls, cross-platform messages, or personalised phishing), identify human vulnerabilities, and reinforce team capabilities in real time with actionable metrics and training adapted to each employee’s behavior.

At the forefront of a new era in workspace security: Agentic Social Intelligence

Traditional cybersecurity, focused on isolated training tools and email filters, has become obsolete in the face of the rise of generative AI. According to the World Economic Forum, since the launch of ChatGPT, social engineering attacks have surged by 1,200%1, resulting in over $1 trillion in losses in 2024 alone2. “Artificial Intelligence has turned social engineering into one of the biggest challenges society faces today. As attackers have exploited generative AI and moved to multi-vector personalized attacks on employees, traditional cybersecurity - focused on isolated training tools and email filters - no longer provides the needed protection. Zepo responds to this gap by leading Agentic Social Intelligence for Workspace Security," explains Antonio Muñoz, CEO and Co-founder of Zepo Intelligence.

“The most serious security failures today don’t begin with systems. They begin with people. Organisations need defences that understand human behavior in real-time, not incident reports after the damage is done. Zepo’s platform goes beyond training and simulations by combining human risk management with live threat detection. In a world where employees can’t reliably spot deepfakes or AI-crafted manipulation, protection has to show up in the moment” highlights Muñoz.

Defining the future of workspace security

With this capital injection, Zepo is launching an ambitious hiring plan focused on attracting top talent in data engineering and Artificial Intelligence. "AI is the core of our platform. For engineers looking to develop their careers at the frontier of AI and cybersecurity, Zepo offers the ideal environment to build technology with global impact," explains Enrique Holgado, CPTO and co-founder of Zepo.

Fueled by 5x year-over-year revenue growth, and already trusted by several global enterprises, Zepo plans to increase the team and expand operations in Europe and the US over the next 18 months. This investment will accelerate the company’s mission to redefine human risk management globally.

Michael Lucassen, Managing Partner at TIN Capital - “TIN Capital has been investing in Cybersecurity for almost ten years now, backing strong technology and great teams. Looking at the rapidly evolving threats it is still the Human Factor that is one of the biggest challenges. That’s why Zepo is ‘spot on’ and particularly interesting in light of the rise of AI. With the adoption of human-centric, AI- driven security platforms, we currently see that the industry is beginning to design for that reality, with Zepo Intelligence at the forefront.”
