Zell Capital Overview

Traditionally, only wealthy individuals and institutions have access to invest in funds that invest in startup companies, also known as venture capital funds. This is because traditional venture capital funds are private funds that are not subject to the same regulatory reporting requirements of registered funds. Investing in private venture capital funds involves a lot of risk, and there are investor protections in place, such as accredited investor standards, to protect investors who may be unfamiliar the risks.

Zell Capital is pioneering a new model that transparently educates investors about the risks of startup investing while providing a fund investment opportunity that is accessible to all investors, not just the wealthy.

We call this new type of fund an Access Fund.
