About Ed Woodward
The Lounge deals desk lists Ed Woodward in the Zalos seed round, $3.6M, March 2026.
Zalos is a London and San Francisco-based startup that builds AI agents for finance teams. According to Tech.eu and the company's press release, 14Peaks Capital led the round. Cohen Circle, 20VC and several angels also took part. Neither source names Ed Woodward, and the named angels it does list are other people. The Zalos round is the only AI investment we can attribute to him, and it comes from the deals desk.
Zalos is an early-stage company building agentic software for finance operations, so the one known round is a seed-stage investment in AI applied to finance. One deal is not enough to say what stages, sectors or regions he prefers. We found no public statement from him on check size or what he looks for in founders, so we have not included any.
