What zeb does

zeb operates as an AI-native services foundry delivering enterprise digital transformation through a proprietary platform called Substrate, structured around four workload families: AI & Engineering, Migrations & Modernizations, Data Engineering, and Security. Substrate runs platform-agnostic across deeply co-architected ecosystems with AWS (Premier Tier Services Partner under a multi-year Generative AI Strategic Collaboration Agreement signed November 2025), Databricks (Select Consulting Partner on the Product Advisory Board), ServiceNow (Premier Partner, awarded October 2025), and Anthropic (Claude is the named foundation model inside every Substrate loop). Delivery uses a pod-based model that the company positions as output-per-pod leverage rather than headcount scaling, and every engagement is sold under a commercial '100% outcome guarantee' that places delivery risk on zeb.

zeb targets enterprises and mid-market customers across Financial Services, Healthcare/Life Sciences, and Manufacturing & Energy, with adjacent coverage of PE-backed companies, ISVs, and startups. GTM is a hybrid of direct enterprise engagement (website-led contact requests) and co-sell through the AWS, Databricks, and ServiceNow channel ecosystems. Revenue is generated through professional services engagements on outcome-guaranteed commercial terms rather than disclosed rate-card or subscription pricing. The company is privately held, was founded in 2023, is headquartered in Bear, Delaware, and employs 1,001–5,000 people, with leadership comprising founder & CEO Mal Vivek, chief revenue officer David Broering, and chief people officer Anthea Vicky Sampath.

Revenue, funding, customer logos, and financial disclosures are not in the public input data; all scale signals are indirect — headcount band, partnership tier escalations, and stated outcome-guarantee economics — and should be treated as directional rather than definitive for sizing purposes.
