Zia Huque is a General Partner at Prime Movers Lab who brings an unusual combination of former Deutsche Bank Securities CEO experience and current public company board service at Equity Residential, giving him both global investment banking leadership and active governance experience that most venture investors lack. He focuses specifically on capital-intensive, engineering-heavy companies tackling physical-world transformations like grid-scale energy storage and advanced materials, while treating founders as "customers" through a service-oriented approach shaped by his background managing large client relationships in global markets.

Notable Investments
Prime Movers Lab positions itself as a startup whose product is helping founders build breakthrough scientific companies, with the mantra "the least useful thing we provide is capital," offering intensive hands-on support including weekly partner calls, executive coaching, and access to Tony Robbins' programs. The firm focuses exclusively on breakthrough science over traditional software, using an unusually technical investment team with PhDs and domain experts to underwrite complex hardware and science startups after core science is de-risked, while targeting serial entrepreneurs motivated by societal contribution rather than quick exits.
