Zoios · Copenhagen · est. 2021
A mission-driven team out of Copenhagen.
Building the employee listening platform we wished existed: short pulse surveys, live dashboards, AI-driven recommendations, and zero spreadsheets.
The mission, by the numbers
Most people spend a third of their lives at work, and far too many spend it burnt out. We're on a mission to change that.

01 · Founding story
Two founders, one idea that wouldn't leave.
01 / 04
The seed
The idea came to Christian a decade ago, during a previous venture. There had to be a better way to understand stress and well-being than annual surveys nobody trusts. Something real-time, data-driven, and built so an organisation could actually act on what it heard. He shelved it. The next chapter pulled him elsewhere.
02 / 04
The gap, up close
Years later, Christian found himself co-running a growing agency. Every other part of the business was instrumented: revenue, pipeline, utilisation. But on the most important question, how are our people actually doing, the answer was a manager's gut feeling. The most expensive asset in the company, and we were guessing.
03 / 04
The call
He picked up the phone to Mikkel. They had been friends since high school, and years earlier had competed together in a US startup competition. They already knew they made a good team. Within an afternoon they agreed: this was the one to build.

Liftoff
Within a few months, the first paying customers were live. Six months in, Zoios was accepted into Y Combinator. Later that year, People Ventures led a round joined by a list of prominent angels. Today Zoios runs across 1,000+ teams in 47 countries. The original idea is the same. Just sharper.

02 · What we believe
Produce for People with Pleasure.
Three words that shape every product decision and every conversation with customers.
P
Produce
We aim to be bold, invent something new, and challenge the status quo of how organizations measure and act on well-being.
P
People
Every feature has to create real, emotional and psychological impact for the human being on the receiving end, while still serving the business.
P
Pleasure
Culture and leadership take work. We believe internal joy isn't a perk, it's the foundation. We have to live it before we can sell it.
