Z5 WAIN Fund

The objective is to set up a cross-border fund to invest in early-stage start-ups based on a partnership between Indian incubator WAIN and Palo Alto-based Z5 Capital. Selected start-ups identified for cross-border scaling will receive seed investment and go-to-market support. The Z5 WAIN partnership opportunity would be a relevant investment vehicle for the successful entrepreneur looking for LP opportunities, for large funds who want to have a feeder fund and for large companies who want to create a Corporate Venture Vehicle of their own to channel investment for future diversification. The Z5 WAIN Fund partnership is a rare combination that manages the supply side of the entrepreneurship equation, whilst also taking the necessary care of those selected businesses to take them to a stage where the full value of an investment can be realized. Z5 WAIN is uniquely positioned to help invest in markets like Asia, Africa, and the US, through a $37 million fund.
