Zane Venture Fund is most relevant for founders raising Pre-Seed and Seed rounds in Healthtech, Digital Health, Edtech, and Fintech, especially across Southeast, Atlanta, and United States, with public check-size signals around $150k to $250k.
Focus statement
Zane invests in inspirational founders building tech-enabled solutions in overlooked markets. Fund II specifically focuses on 'The Healthy Human Economy,' targeting companies addressing preventative health and food access through the lens of 'Addressable Drivers of Health' (ADH), with a primary geographic focus on the Southeast while opportunistically investing across the U.S.
Value Add

- Dual-platform approach combining Zane Access (pre-seed education and acceleration platform) with venture capital fund to create ecosystem support
- Market-agnostic to sector-focused evolution: Fund I was industry agnostic (edtech, healthtech, fintech); Fund II moved to health-focused thesis
- Emphasis on personal founder development alongside business scaling: commitment to empowering founders 'to become better versions of themselves personally and professionally'
- Strong portfolio outcomes: 24x follow-on funding multiple and 3x average annual revenue growth for Zane venture companies
