Key facts

Why he is a leader

In the technology world, few things validate a project as much as an international acquisition. Hikru, the company Zamora founded in Costa Rica, was acquired by Atmosera, a U.S. company, in a deal announced in March 2026. It is one of the most concrete and recent cases of a Costa Rican company with an AI focus reaching an international exit.

Hikru is defined by an AI-first mindset: artificial intelligence is not an add-on, but the starting point of how it approaches software engineering, data, and platforms, largely on the Microsoft ecosystem. After the deal, Zamora took on a regional sales leadership role within the resulting company.

His contribution to the ecosystem

Hikru’s story sends a clear message to the Costa Rican ecosystem: you can build AI talent and product from within the country at a level the international market values and buys. Every successful exit opens the path, gives investors confidence, and shows that Costa Rica is not just a place to operate, but to create.
