AI startup Zoca has secured $6 million in seed funding to expand its U.S. go-to-market strategy and accelerate deployment of its AI-powered agents for hyperlocal businesses. The round was led by Accel, with participation from GTMfund, Elevation Capital, and Better Capital.
Founded in 2024 by Ashish Verma and Robin Chauhan, Zoca offers a suite of AI agents designed to handle the full marketing funnel for location-based services such as salons, spas, florists, and pet care providers. The platform’s agents — powered by large language models like Llama and ChatGPT — optimize Google search visibility, automate rebooking, manage paid ads, and create social media content.
Zoca has already helped over 1,000 businesses drive $10 million in revenue and book more than 120,000 appointments.
