Investing in Seed-Stage Innovation
Zane provides strategic funding and support to seed-stage companies that are ready to scale. We invest in high-growth startups led by inspirational and overlooked founders, driving economic impact.
Initial investment size: $250K
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!
Fund II
Building on the success of Fund I, we are investing in the next generation of high-growth startups building tech-enabled solutions that address the drivers of health.
With a sector-focused approach, Fund II primarily invests in companies based in the Southeast, we also take an opportunistic approach to investing in high-potential startups across the U.S. that align with our thesis.
