In recent firm news, last week we unveiled our 2024 Inclusive Investing Impact Report - Reimagining Work, Wealth and Wellness. Important we remain transparent across the private markets, highlighting our tireless community of founders and portfolio companies they are scaling.
Special shoutout to Susannah Burrage Head of Portfolio Management for leading the charge building out this important report.
At Zeal Capital Partners, we are laser focused and fully committed to investing in high-growth early stage businesses, capturing their growth potential before they scale, and supporting them as they drive meaningful, sustainable change for communities often left behind.
We’re intentional about building a portfolio that supports founders from all backgrounds and builds towards a more equitable economy.
Our Impact by the numbers:
- 38 investments to date across the Future of Learning & Work, Fintech, and Health Equity categories across three accounts.
- 100% of portfolio companies are led by underrepresented founders
- 45% have a female founder or co-founder
- 66% of portfolio companies headquartered outside MA, CA, NY
- 500+ employees across portfolio companies
Equally important is the investment we are making in the next generation of investors through our Venture Scout program in partnership with Barclays. Important we are building out track records for future diverse GPs.
As you review this report, we invite you to witness the impact of our Inclusive Investing mandate - how our founders and companies are delivering solutions that matter and creating opportunities that endure.
