After co-founding and scaling Forto to over $600M in funding, I took a step back to reflect on what’s still broken in global logistics. The answer was clear: it’s still a human-first, spreadsheet-heavy industry, full of repetitive processes and broken system interoperability.
With the rise of AI agents, we now have the tools to rethink that from the ground up. Zauber builds autonomous agents for the global logistics industry, AI workers that handle operational tasks, talk to systems and humans alike, and get better every day.

The chance to shape one of Europe’s most ambitious AI startups
Logistics is one of the world’s largest industries but remains largely untouched by intelligent automation. Legacy systems, manual processes, and fragmented workflows make it one of the most fertile grounds for AI transformation.
This is your opportunity to learn company building by doing. You will not be a passive observer but an active driver of what gets built and how we grow.
If that excites you, we would love to hear from you.
What drives us personally is the belief that Europe’s long-term prosperity and sovereignty depend on a strong economic engine. We need more AI product-first European global champions on the world stage.
Our mission is to build one of the biggest automation companies in the world - from Europe. While our HQ will be in Europe, we will relentlessly benchmark ourselves with the best globally and sell internationally from the beginning.
