Kairos Exchange - by ZenoX
A marketplace built by the people who already run the ads.
Who's behind it
Kairos is built by ZenoX Media, a Google Ads agency for ecommerce brands. ZenoX runs paid ads for 200+ ecom stores across fashion, home decor, jewelry, and more, with EUR 200M+ in cumulative tracked sales. That is the whole reason Kairos can verify a store's numbers in days instead of weeks - the read-only data connections and tracking already exist inside the agency. We are not a new company guessing at ecom; we are the same team that already runs the ad accounts, building a marketplace on top of data we already understand.
How we handle conflicts
Running an agency, a marketplace, and (later) our own store-buying arm in one place creates real conflicts of interest. Here is how we keep them honest:
- If ZenoX (or anyone on our team) is the buyer on a listing, the seller is told in writing before anything moves forward.
- Our own investment arm can never bid on a store we're brokering unless the seller agrees to it after full disclosure, and that bid sits alongside every other offer - never given a head start.
- Every verification memo runs off the same fixed checklist, whether or not ZenoX already manages that store's ads.
- Agency clients are never pushed to list their store, and listing never changes the service they get from us.
