Empowering Entrepreneurs, Fueling Innovation: Zelkova Ventures - Where Vision Meets Venture

At Zelkova Ventures, we're more than just investors—we're partners in your success. With a strong commitment to fostering growth and innovation, we roll up our sleeves and work hand-in-hand with our portfolio companies to unlock their full potential.

Founded in 2007, we specialize in supporting early-stage companies, often providing their first outside or institutional capital. Over the course of Fund I, II, and III, we’ve honed our approach and stacked numerous successful exits where we’ve backed entrepreneurs and disruptive innovations.

Simply put, we don't just write checks; we take an active role in guiding and empowering the companies we invest in.

In addition to over 100 other incredible companies, we've backed top ventures such as HelpScout, Klout, Crimson Hexagon, Hungryroot, Jibe, Fora, MarketMuse, Ambassador, and Customer.io.

But it's not just about the money. Alongside our capital, we bring a wealth of expertise, insight, and execution capabilities to our portfolio companies. Whether it's navigating market challenges, forging strategic partnerships, or scaling operations, we're here every step of the way.

Our primary focus is on Software as a Service (SaaS) companies, where we specialize in supporting visionary entrepreneurs to build successful and impactful businesses.

Join us in shaping the future of innovation and entrepreneurship. Let's collaborate, innovate, and grow together.
