ZenShin Capital cover

About ZenShin Capital

ZenShin Capital is an early-stage venture investor that asks founders to apply with a one-way video pitch. The firm says it prefers to back people rather than polished business scripts, and it dislikes screening cold emails. Its own material also uses the name GoAhead Ventures.

What ZenShin Capital does

  • One-way pitch: founders record a video that every managing partner reviews.
  • Fast answers: the stated process runs about six days from pitch to a possible offer.
  • Lead investing: the firm leads early-stage rounds across all technology sectors and all regions.
  • Student scouts: students who want to enter venture capital can apply to act as scouts.

Clients

Its focus is pre-seed and seed companies. It accepts applicants from any technology sector and any country, and it invites founders who sit on the edge of its parameters to apply anyway.

Key facts

  • Stage: pre-seed and seed
  • Deals led: more than 30 early-stage deals
  • Decision time: about six days
