Tony Kim
Founder, CEO
Presales & solutions at Ripple, working with Tier-1 banks. Now also leads engineering at InlookAI and Ageospatial. Started Zephior after writing 150+ proposals by hand.
LinkedIn →Built by operators who lived the problem.
We started Zephior in 2024 because we saw the same pattern across every industry: organisations losing deals not because they weren't qualified, but because the proposal process was broken.
AI changes the economics of responding.
When generating a high-quality proposal response takes minutes instead of days, the entire procurement landscape shifts. Smaller companies can compete with incumbents. Qualified sellers stop losing to better-resourced ones. Buyers get better responses from a wider field.
We're not building a writing tool. We're building the Zephior Agent Platform so supplier teams can find the right opportunities, answer with evidence, and turn decisions into submission-ready work.
Small, senior, shipping.
Built by people who have written the proposals, run the compliance, and shipped the software.
