Z2Sixty Ventures

Z2Sixty Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm that invests in pre-seed to Series A companies leveraging key enabling technologies to address global challenges and build a smarter, more sustainable society. The firm targets sectors including Climate Tech for climate-smart infrastructure and energy transition, Ageing Society solutions, Fintech for improved financial access and education, and Health Tech for enhanced wellbeing and social connections. It applies a rigorous evaluation process emphasizing founders with inquisitiveness and grit, while using an ESG lens to identify opportunities and risks for superior returns outside public markets. Founded by Hernando Bunuan, a former senior technology banker with over 20 years of experience in M&A and IPO exits totaling more than $45 billion across the U.S. and Europe, Z2Sixty Ventures draws on his expertise to guide startups toward successful outcomes. Bunuan launched the firm to accelerate bold founders in high-growth areas, informed by his analysis of exit trends and prior angel investments. The firm manages an initial $20 million fund structured as two parallel $10 million vehicles to broaden investor participation, including diverse accredited individuals alongside institutions, fostering an inclusive LP base. Z2Sixty Ventures supports a diverse portfolio spanning Enterprise AI & ML, Fintech, Medtech, Smart City/Govtech, Deep Tech, and Climate Tech. Notable current and prior investments include Ion Storage Systems in solid-state batteries, DevRev.ai for product-led growth, ReJoule for battery health platforms, and fintech platforms for tax compliance and revenue-based financing. The firm acts as a super-connector, providing operational support through its network of corporate, VC, PE, academic, and service provider contacts to aid deal origination, due diligence, and exits. Backed by a Venture Advisor Network and multi-disciplinary experts, the team at Z2Sixty Ventures emphasizes relationship-building, mentorship, and values like teamwork, integrity, global mindset, and transparency. Headquartered in Atlanta, GA, the firm prioritizes U.S.-based companies while maintaining a global outlook to empower founders in creating high-performing teams and transformational businesses.
