Investment thesis
Zane targets the intersection of untapped founder potential and health innovation, backing clinical-rigor founders with lived health experience who are reimagining care delivery from reactive to proactive models. The firm believes the largest misallocation of capital in medicine lies in overinvestment in treatment versus prevention; it deploys capital toward foundational platforms and intelligent systems that make preventive care accessible and continuous. The firm's portfolio companies have demonstrated 3x average annual revenue growth and attracted $40M in follow-on funding from strategic health investors.
