Zoot Information

Every company relies on vendors. Few manage the risk well. I saw it firsthand — spreadsheets tracking hundreds of third-party relationships, compliance gaps hiding in plain sight, contract renewals slipping through the cracks. Security teams, legal, and finance all working in silos with inconsistent data. The result: organizations exposed to cyber threats, regulatory penalties, and operational disruptions they never saw coming. That's why I'm building Zoot — an AI-driven vendor risk management platform that automates the entire vendor lifecycle, from onboarding and risk assessment to contract management and continuous monitoring. What makes Zoot different: → AI-powered risk scoring that adapts over time, replacing manual assessments with real-time intelligence → Automated questionnaires that eliminate the back-and-forth of vendor due diligence → A unified platform that serves security, legal, compliance, and finance teams — not just one silo → Continuous monitoring with real-time alerts on vendor security incidents, financial instability, and compliance drift → Deep integrations with tools teams already use — QuickBooks, Ramp, Gmail, Plaid — so vendor data flows where it needs to go Most vendor risk tools solve for one team. Zoot is built for the whole organization. Security gets proactive threat detection. Legal gets contract lifecycle management. Finance gets full visibility into vendor spend. Everyone works from a single source of truth. We're focused on industries where the vendor network is critical — financial services, healthcare, tech, retail, and manufacturing — helping businesses move from reactive risk management to proactive resilience. If you're thinking about third-party risk, vendor operations, or GRC — I'd love to connect.
