Zerolook
Category: AI in Travel
Zug-based B2B flight shopping API that uses machine learning to predict flight itineraries and prices instead of computing them live, reducing the cost of serving AI-driven search volumes for travel platforms. Zerolook was founded in 2025. The company is led by Simone Lini. Based in Risch-Rotkreuz, Switzerland. Team size: 2-10. Total funding raised: $1.9M. Latest round: Pre-Seed.

Value proposition
A flight-shopping API built for AI-scale search: an ML model predicts cheapest itineraries in milliseconds rather than querying a GDS/airline for every fare, dramatically lowering cost-per-query for the exploratory/browsing traffic that dominates AI agent and metasearch volumes.
Products and solutions
Flight Shopping API (REST or MCP) that predicts itineraries, prices, and confidence scores, deeplinks to major booking providers, free developer quota, look-to-book and metasearch revenue calculators.
Unique value
Trades a small amount of price accuracy for dramatically lower cost per search — serving the 1:200,000+ look-to-book ratios AI agents generate without scaling shopping infrastructure or paying GDS fees on every search.
Target customer
Online travel agencies (OTAs), airlines, metasearch sites, and AI travel agents/developers building travel apps.
Industries served
Travel technology / flight distribution, online travel agencies, airline distribution, AI travel agents.
Technology advantage
ML model trained on years of historical fare data that predicts cheapest itineraries in milliseconds, with live sampling to self-correct as fares move; leverages stable fare-rule patterns; MCP integration for Claude/ChatGPT agent runtimes.
How they differentiate
Unlike general search (Tavily) or agency-ops tools (Acai Travel), Zerolook is purpose-built flight-shopping infrastructure that predicts fares via ML rather than live GDS computation, and stays out of the booking/distribution path entirely.
Main competitors
Acai Travel (travel agency operations), Tavily (general web search), traditional flight shopping APIs (Sabre Flight Shop, Amadeus, Travelpayouts/Aviasales).
Major milestones
Founded 2025 as Navifare AG (consumer price-checker; registry Dec 4, 2025), pivoted/renamed to Zerolook as ML flight shopping infrastructure, raised €1.6M / $1.9M pre-seed led by Playfair (Aug 11, 2026), signed LOIs / commercial commitments with online travel partners; first pilots planned later 2026; hiring ML team in Zurich
Market positioning
Early-stage Swiss startup addressing the AI-driven flight search cost problem, positioned as a low-cost flight-shopping layer for OTAs, airlines, and AI travel agents.
Geographic focus
Europe (Zug, Switzerland HQ); global flight distribution market.
