Zygote Ventures is a privately held seed/angel venture capital fund. Zygote typically invests first, or very early, in innovative technology enterprises. As a privately held angel investor, Zygote Ventures falls somewhere between an entrepreneur and a traditional venture capital fund. Zygote invests only its principal's money, and therefore without limited partners, Zygote can be less risk-averse than most VCs. Zygote prefers companies that require less than $1 million of capital, and prefers investing in the Cleantech space. The firm's principal, Jerry Fiddler, is the founder of Wind River and was for 23 years its CEO and Chairman. Since its establishment in 1981 in Fiddler's Berkeley garage, Wind River grew to become the leading provider of device software worldwide, with over $400M in annual sales, and market cap well over $1B.
