A company building the tool sponsorship was missing

Zephlo is a company with one focus: software for the people who sell sponsorship. Clubs, festivals, venues, public bodies, agencies. The idea is simple. The commercial side of sponsorship runs on spreadsheets, inboxes and goodwill. The moment a sponsor asks what they got for their money, nobody can answer quickly. That's the problem worth solving: not selling the deal, proving it.

It's a founder-led company on a straightforward B2B model: one subscription per organisation. We stay close to the problem and lean on real depth: a founder with hands-on experience in the field, backed by a mentor with over twelve years in sponsorship keeping the product honest. We're building it in the open, and looking for the first pilot partners to build it with, one at a time.

  • Evidence first

    If it isn't timestamped, it didn't happen. Every claim in the product traces back to proof.

  • Built with the people who sell it

    Every feature starts from a real Monday-morning problem someone actually had, not a roadmap written in advance.

  • Quiet software

    No dashboards for the sake of dashboards. Zephlo speaks up when a renewal is at risk and stays out of the way otherwise.

From the founder

“I am a founder who's seen problems in the sponsorship management space and decided to fix it all from my own experiences. I build Zephlo alongside a mentor with twelve years in the field who keeps me honest. It's the tool sponsorship teams should have had all along. If it saves you one relationship a year, it's done its job. Tell me what's missing. I read every request myself.”

The team

Small on purpose

One founder today, and two seats we're looking to fill. Until they are, every one of those jobs is the same desk.

  4. In development

    Files from Drive & OneDrive

    Attach contracts and proof straight from Google Drive or OneDrive instead of re-uploading.
