Fueling Inclusive Innovations for Tomorrow
WHO WE ARE
Capital, where it counts.
There's a capital gap. Overlooked founders of successful ventures continue to be underfunded. Zane Venture Fund is addressing this gap, putting capital where it counts with overlooked founders in the Southeast and other underfunded regions. We invest in bold founders of tech-enabled solutions with innovative business models, and signs of early traction. Zane offers more than money, we provide our founders with mentoring and access to the kind of network of resources needed to allow their talent to shine–and their companies to grow. We are founded, funded, and operated by a passionate group of entrepreneurs, investors, and operators.

If you’re looking to pursue profitable mission-driven investments, I highly recommend the team at Zane.”
