Investment thesis

Zero Infinity Partners (ZIP) is pioneering the 'infra-tech' investing category, investing in early-stage founders and companies deploying innovative technologies and business ideas across global infrastructure sectors — including energy, power, mobility, logistics, digital, water, waste, and biomanufacturing. ZIP's thesis centers on the belief that the global infrastructure system is undergoing a fundamental transformation, and that venture-backed technologies can modernize these foundational physical systems through digitization & automation, decarbonization & electrification, and differentiated project development. Founded in 2022 and based in New York, ZIP combines deep expertise in infrastructure private equity, project finance, and venture capital to bridge the gap between legacy infrastructure operators and innovative technology founders. The firm backs companies at the seed through Series B stages, with a particular focus on startups that can navigate the complexities of infrastructure buyers, operators, regulators, and project-development constraints — advancing the systems that keep the world in motion.

Notable quotes

Infrastructure and venture capital have long operated as parallel continents – different languages, different cultures, and almost never the same definition of success. We started Zero Infinity Partners to bridge the two.
