Investment thesis
Zell Capital views founders as modern explorers pursuing transformative change and partners with early-stage companies through multiple vehicles designed to meet founders where they are. The platform combines traditional venture investing with a studio model for building companies from scratch, community-driven angel syndication, strategic advisory support, and non-dilutive lending, reflecting a philosophy that founders should not be forced into a single capital structure but offered flexible, right-fit solutions.

Cherubic Ventures is known for investing before a startup even launches or reaches product-market fit, often as the first institutional investor, while also setting aside half of its latest fund for follow-on support all the way through pre-IPO; it was also one of the first venture firms to operate as a solo general partner and has grown into one of the largest funds run that way. Founded by Matt Cheng, who previously built two companies that each reached over $1 billion in public market value, the firm was designed from the start to invest across both the U.S. and Asia, backing early breakout companies in places like Croatia, Bangladesh, Japan, and Taiwan in addition to the U.S., with its Taipei roots still central to its identity alongside its Silicon Valley presence.
