Zero Shot

Early conversations
Founders come to us early, when ideas are still forming and technical decisions matter most.
Zero Shot Fund is a $100M venture fund anchored by OpenAI alumni.
We back founders building across robotics, energy, automation, infrastructure, security, and observability.
Our edge comes from having built and deployed frontier AI systems ourselves. We have a clear view into what endures, what breaks, and where real opportunity emerges.
