It's 1995 again.

The internet rewired how we work, live and get things done. AI is doing it again, faster and at a larger scale. Zoha Ventures is a $5M first fund backing the founders doing the rewiring.

The internet took thirty years to reach everyone. AI reached a billion people in three.

Every few decades the substrate of daily life changes and a generation of companies gets built on top of it. The last time was the browser. This time it is a model that can read, write, see, plan and act. We are early, the way 1995 was early, and the most valuable companies of this era have not been founded yet.

Zoha means first light. We invest at the moment a founder can see the new world clearly and almost nobody else can. Our fund is small on purpose. It lets us write the first check, move in days, and stay close.

We look for founders in three places where AI is rewriting the default.

Work

Software that does the job, not software that helps you do it.

Agents that own outcomes. Tools that collapse ten-person workflows into one person and a model. The companies here will look less like SaaS and more like teammates.

Life

Health, money, learning and home, rebuilt around a model that knows you.

The internet gave everyone a search box. AI gives everyone an expert on call. We back the products that make that expert trustworthy, private and worth paying for.

Productivity

The new interface between people and their intentions.

Notes, calendars, inboxes and documents were built for humans typing. The next generation is built for humans deciding while models execute. Whoever wins this owns the workday.

How we invest

First checks, fast decisions, and a network that has been early before.

Before Fund I, the people behind Zoha invested personally in companies that now define the AI era. That network is what we bring to every founder we back.

LP Academy

Everything a first-time fund investor needs to know, taught in plain language, free.

Most people who could be limited partners in a venture fund have never been asked, and never been told how it works. We wrote the course we wish existed.
