Superstep Capital has made a strategic investment in Zencore, an independent Google Cloud consultancy, as the firm expands its full-stack artificial intelligence capabilities and launches a new agentic AI framework for enterprise customers.
Zencore was founded in 2021 by former Google Cloud leaders and operates as an independent Google Cloud Premier partner.
The company has earned four Partner of the Year awards, holds nine specializations and has completed hundreds of engagements across North America and EMEA.
Superstep’s investment will support Zencore’s expansion across leadership, delivery capabilities, go-to-market initiatives and strategic alliances while preserving the company’s independence and Google Cloud-focused operating model.
The investment coincides with the launch of Zencore’s ZenAI Factory, a new framework designed to help enterprises move agentic AI projects into production on Google Cloud.
ZenAI Factory is initially launching with three solutions.
Agentic Software Factory is designed to incorporate AI coding agents, including Google Antigravity, across software development workflows such as code creation, review, testing and release.
Agentic Data Factory connects data across BigQuery and other enterprise systems and uses AI agents to automate modeling, analysis and reporting activities that are often handled manually.
Agentic Operations Factory focuses on infrastructure management by using AI agents to continuously monitor systems, diagnose problems and resolve incidents.
Zencore is also making the ZenAI Factory available with Forward Deployed Engineering resources, giving customers access to engineers who can work directly alongside internal teams during implementation.
The opportunity comes as enterprise adoption of AI on Google Cloud creates additional demand for specialized consulting and implementation services across data, machine learning operations and agentic systems.
Zencore cited Google Cloud as approaching a $100 billion annualized revenue run rate and said the business grew 82% year over year in the second quarter of 2026.
Google has also committed $750 million to an agentic AI partner fund intended to support specialized ecosystem partners.
Superstep Capital focuses exclusively on digital services businesses and is led by former operators who have built and scaled services companies beyond $100 million in revenue.
For Zencore, the investment provides additional resources to scale without changing the company’s engineering-led, senior-staffed model.
