Notable Investments
Zeal Capital Partners positions itself as a platform for change rather than a traditional fund, using a five-pronged Inclusive Investing framework that deliberately targets overlooked founders and markets outside coastal hubs while aiming for top-tier venture returns of 3-4x on invested capital. The firm has scaled to $186M across three funds in five years with backing from mainstream institutional investors like Citi, Wells Fargo, and MassMutual, focusing on financial inclusion, health equity, and the future of learning and work.
