Zetta Venture Partners

Zetta Venture Partners is a pioneering venture capital firm, distinguished as one of the first to exclusively focus on AI-first enterprise software companies. Based in San Francisco, the firm targets early-stage startups, primarily at the Seed and Series A stages, that are building intelligent applications leveraging machine learning and artificial intelligence to solve complex business problems. Their investment thesis centers on the belief that AI will fundamentally transform enterprise operations, creating new categories of software.

Zetta's approach goes beyond capital provision; they offer deep domain expertise in AI, operational guidance, and a network tailored to the unique challenges of developing and scaling AI-driven businesses. They look for companies with strong technical teams, proprietary data advantages, and clear pathways to market leadership in their niche. The firm actively supports its portfolio companies with strategic advice on product development, go-to-market strategies, and talent acquisition, all through an AI-centric lens.

Over the years, Zetta Venture Partners has steadily grown its capital base, reflecting its commitment and success in the AI sector. The firm closed its fourth fund, Zetta IV, in 2022 with $260 million, bringing its total assets under management to over $650 million across all funds. This substantial capital allows Zetta to make meaningful early-stage investments, with typical initial checks ranging from $2 million to $8 million. Their portfolio includes notable companies such as Domino Data Lab, Lilt, and Tractable, demonstrating their impact on the enterprise AI landscape.
