Zeal Capital Partners

Inclusive Investing™ is a market-backed discipline that allows us to cast a targeted, yet wide net when sourcing companies, while keeping outsized returns and impact front and center in our investment decisions. There’s a lot of talk about demographics and a lack of diversity in venture capital. Inclusive investing is a strategy that proactively addresses this problem. While we’re pioneering this strategy, the data supporting our thesis is on our side: diverse fund managers earn better returns, and companies with diverse leadership outperform their peers. Inclusive Investing™ goes beyond diversity - it’s a new investment discipline that can transform the way we source, invest in, and scale businesses, and in doing so, create new pathways to prosperity for individuals, businesses, and communities at scale. Inclusive Investing™ levels the playing field so the best businesses and most talented teams succeed. A Five-Pronged ApproachImplemented cohesively, these five areas of practice yield an Inclusive Investing™ discipline Zeal is spearheading in the venture world across private markets.Diverse Fund Managers: Fund managers and the broader team are diverse with complementary backgrounds and skill sets. Diverse Management Teams: Companies proactively source diverse management teams with complementary skill sets and backgrounds that help portfolio companies outperform. Geographic Inclusivity: Funds source from a wide range of geographies across the U.S., not just traditional geographic VC “hotbeds”. Investment Focus: Investment allocation is directed to sectors where fund managers expect continued innovation and opportunity for disruption. Impact Lens: Investments seek to achieve top tier financial and social returns that impact low-wealth communities and small businesses.

Real Estate: In Real Estate we have historically been focused on affordable multi-family, senior and student housing, as well as commercial and opportunistic real estate transactions. We have a strong track record in development and value-add investments globally. Our portfolio spans across the United States, Australia, Germany, Spain, Vietnam, Austria, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Philippines, India and Korea. Venture Capital: We allocate capital to established startups and specialized Venture Capital funds with top tier track records. Corecam’s investment focus lies in uncorrelated business models. Typically B2B companies with a high share of recurring revenues. Over 60% of Corecam’s current Venture Capital portfolio is focused on software companies. We seek high growth, high margin business models partnering with entrepreneurs, who are building technologies for the next generation. Special Opportunities: Thanks to our proprietary network of investors and partners we have access to a wide range of private market opportunities. Our execution speed and structuring expertise allow us to flexibly participate in such investments.
