About

Muzzammil (MZ) Zaveri is a Partner at Audacious Ventures, where he invests from a $150M early-stage fund backing ambitious founders at the very start of their journeys.

His early-stage investment approach emphasizes deeply understanding founders and their vision rather than relying on conventional pattern matching. He credits a childhood spent across four continents with shaping how he evaluates people and seeks out founders who see the world differently.
