About
What we believe
AI is a technological supercycle that will completely change the way companies do business and people do work over the next decade.
There are three types of relationships businesses will have with AI: AI-absent, AI-integrated, and AI-first.
The only way to build a long-term successful business is by embracing AI and getting as close to AI-first as possible.
Most companies won't have the knowledge or bandwidth in-house to build custom AI solutions that integrate seamlessly with their existing systems, processes, and people.
We founded ZeroSlide because we got tired of watching AI projects die in committee.
While Western companies debate AI strategy in boardrooms, Chinese manufacturers are deploying computer vision on factory floors. Logistics companies in Shenzhen use AI to optimize routes in real-time. Restaurants in Shanghai automate inventory before the lunch rush hits.
Not flashy. Not frontier models. Just AI applied to boring business problems - saving 15% here, increasing throughput 20% there.
The results compound. The gap widens.
We've spent years on the ground in Asia watching this happen. Building these systems. Shipping them. Seeing what actually moves the needle versus what makes a good keynote.
The lesson is simple: the companies winning with AI aren't waiting for perfect. They're deploying now, iterating fast, and letting their competitors catch up to where they were six months ago.
We started ZeroSlide to bring that mindset to companies ready to move.
No 200-slide decks. No 6-month discovery phases. Just working systems that ship.
We're incorporated in Singapore and New York, with team members across Asia, Europe, and the Americas. We go where the work takes us.

Malte Wagenbach
Berlin / Istanbul
Malte Wagenbach has spent over a decade building companies—learning that most ventures fail at the human layer, not the technology layer.
He built and scaled a successful agency. He launched le melo, a sports hydration brand now in market. He publishes Anima Mundi, a philosophical magazine blending systems thinking with embodied observation.
Now he runs Zero Slide—an AI agency for founders and executives who need implementation, not more decks.
The name says it: no slides. No strategy theater. Just working systems.
Zero Slide helps companies identify where AI actually creates leverage, build the workflows, and ship. Malte brings a builder's eye—someone who's operated across marketing, brand development, investor communications, and product launches, and knows the difference between AI that looks good in a pitch and AI that moves the needle.
If you're sitting on AI potential but drowning in PowerPoints, let's talk.
