Our story
Why I built Runzivo
I spent years building delivery platforms for other companies, and then a cloud of our own. Runzivo is what came next.
2022
ZSoftly
I founded ZSoftly, a Canadian public and private cloud company with a professional services team.

What comes next?
With ZCP, our cloud platform, built, I did not want to stay at the core of the stack. People, and now their AI agents, expect to use everything as a service. I wanted to build one of those services.

Pre-seed and the first commit
A CAD 25,000 pre-seed round: CAD 15,000 from me and CAD 10,000 in cloud credits from ZSoftly. Building started on 13 September.

Incorporated and live
Runzivo Technologies Inc. was incorporated in Ontario on 1 October. The rzv command-line tool shipped on 3 October, production went live in Early Access, and the AI features entered early access on 18 October.

More compute, more choice
More kinds of compute as teams need them, and Runzivo as another place for your pipelines to run.
What I care about are the core things every business needs: a clear problem, a clear path to revenue, and one service you reach through a single API. Solve it well, and let people and their agents use it. No team should have to babysit a runner fleet next to its source code.
I also believe in redundancy. When one runner provider has a bad day, your pipelines should have another place to go. No single company should do it all. OpenAI and Anthropic push each other to be better, and CI deserves the same.
