What Makes Zeal Different?
We bring a unique combination of experience as founders, investors, and operators. We’re immeasurably passionate about the companies we partner with and the teams behind them.
We see people as a company's most sustainable competitive advantage. We've developed award-winning cultures and we'll preserve the culture you’ve built.
We are founders that understand business is more than a spreadsheet exercise. We'll help where we can add value, but otherwise stay out of the way.
Growth is in our DNA. We dream big and work collaboratively with our partners to help drive profitable growth designed to create lasting value.
In addition to Jordan and Randy’s personal capital, our investment comes from trusted and engaged investors who add strategic value to our partner companies.
Whether your company is highly technical or just starting your digital transformation journey, we’ll help your team leverage digital to supercharge growth.
From acquiring new customers to identifying M&A opportunities to filling critical roles, you'll get access to our network of founders, CEOs, and executives.
