Zeno Technologies

A product of 8VC's Build Program, Zeno is a visibility and accounting suit for midsized (i.e., non-major) upstream oil and gas companies. The software integrates with the existing fragmented tech stack and (or legacy) tools across the organization to give CFOs “command center” visibility into the performance of all their assets and allow them to run sophisticated forecasts and analyses. Zeno allows E&P operators the ability to integrate across the existing tech-stack (ERP, production data, drilling and reserves economics, land data, accounting, and market data), giving CFOs real-time insight into their asset’s performance. By targeting supply chain visibility issues that plague O&G markets (wells, land rights, mineral data, purification, etc.), Zeno aims to build a high-fidelity data set that can be translated into investor advantages like increased transparency and reduced inefficiencies. The business model is such that we charge smaller contract values for the O&G operators (<$500k) while taking up from 1-10% (depending on size) of each position hedged. Zeno's hedging model doubles their addressable market and allows them to scale much more quickly. Zeno has invested heavily in building a data integration platform for the fragmented O&G software stack over the last three years. We previously had a CEO from Salesforce but struggled to productize it successfully or achieve traction in the market, culminating in 5 months with no sales from November 2022. Following the hire of our newest CEO (Sean), the team was able to close 5 contracts within 4 months.
