Fund I

Zane’s Fund I, a proof-of-concept fund, was launched to support early-stage founders with tech-enabled solutions based in the Southeast. 

We were industry agnostic, investing in companies across edtech, health tech, and fintech, each driving innovation and growth in their respective sectors.

I knew Zane was the right capital partner from our first conversation. It was clear that they were focused on helping me to personally succeed. With their help, I’ve been able to make better decisions, tell a better story, and become a better leader. Best of all, my business is healthy, scaling, my team is energized, and my customers are delighted!
