Crunchbase and Fundable each list one angel investment by Mike Lenz, in Zalos. No other angel investments, check sizes or exit history are public in the sources we reviewed.
Zalos raised a $3.6M seed round, which the Lounge deals desk dates to March 2026. A LinkedIn post about the round says it was led by 14Peaks Capital, with participation from 20VC and Cohen Circle. It names Mike Lenz and Ian Sutherland among the angels.
The same post describes Zalos as a Y Combinator F25 company based in London and San Francisco. It says Zalos builds AI agents that operate finance teams' existing tools, such as ERPs, CRMs, spreadsheets and banking platforms, instead of replacing them. The post names William Fairbairn as co-founder and CEO.
With one known deal, there is no stated thesis. Fundable tags his activity with Artificial Intelligence, Accounting, Enterprise, Finance and Payments. The Zalos round was at seed stage. He has not publicly stated a check size, geography or the criteria he uses, so none are given here.
