Cybersecurity startup based in Spain – Zepo Intelligence has closed a €12.8 million ($15 million) seed round today to scale its “agentic social intelligence” platform. Led by eCAPITAL with support from Kibo Ventures and TIN Capital, the funding arrives as AI-powered phishing and deepfake attacks have surged by 1,200% over the last year.
Unlike traditional filters, Zepo monitors live behaviour across Slack, Teams, and WhatsApp to detect threats in real-time – such as deepfake voice calls or wire fraud. The Spanish startup, which has reported 5x year-over-year revenue growth, plans to use the capital to expand its data engineering teams and accelerate its rollout across Europe and the U.S. over the next 18 months.
