By leveraging AI-powered advocacy programs, Zealot enables businesses to scale customer advocacy efforts efficiently.

Joining forces with UserEvidence allows them to bring our advocacy and reference management capabilities to a broader audience and integrate them into a platform already trusted for generating and activating customer proof.

Our Story: Ripple Ventures and

Zealot (Acq. by UserEvidence)

The company was founded in 2023 by Sam Farber (Co-Founder and CEO), Srikar Chava (Co-Founder and CPO), and later joined by Brandon Jakobson (Co-Founder and CTO).

We met Zealot through a founder breakfast event hosted in Seattle in February 2024 and were amazed at the speed at which they have been building and growing pipeline. Since this time, we have been working closely with their team and quickly moved them through our investment process given our confidence and coachability of the team.
