Operators investing in technical founders.

Early-stage investments in Web3, AI, and deep technology. Operated by a team running production infrastructure for over a decade. Portfolio companies receive capital alongside private server infrastructure, engineering support, and operational expertise from day one.

Pitch to Zubra → What We Invest In ↓

Infrastructure-backed investment

Capital is the starting point. For technical founders in Web3 and AI, the more tangible advantage is infrastructure access: eliminating early runway spent on foundational stack costs.

Portfolio companies access Zubra's private server infrastructure, hands-on engineering guidance, and operational experience spanning blockchain, AI, and enterprise hosting. We invest only in domains where we already operate, which means substantive support, not just introductions.

The infrastructure is already built. Portfolio companies inherit that as a competitive advantage from day one.

What we invest in

Three areas where deep technical expertise is a genuine advantage and where Zubra's operational background creates real portfolio value.

Web3 & Blockchain

Protocols, tooling, and applications building on decentralised infrastructure. We back founders with deep protocol knowledge building for durability. Operating blockchain infrastructure since 2017, we evaluate projects through a production operator's lens.

Artificial Intelligence

AI-native companies building infrastructure, agentic systems, and domain-specific applications. We operate AI infrastructure directly our assessment goes beyond market trends to engineering constraints and deployment realities.

Deep Technology

Technically ambitious companies where genuine engineering depth is the moat novel systems design, unconventional infrastructure approaches, or proprietary technical insight that creates durable competitive advantage.

What portfolio companies get

Zubra portfolio companies receive a defined set of operational resources alongside capital structured to reduce time-to-deployment and extend runway efficiency.

◈

Private Infrastructure Access

Access to Zubra's private server infrastructure in Ljubljana and Zagreb for hosting, deployment, and staging environments. Eliminates early-stage cloud dependency.

◈

Engineering Support

Direct access to Zubra's development team for technical review, architecture consultation, and hands-on engineering assistance at critical milestones.

◈

Blockchain Infrastructure

Node operations, validator management, and protocol integrations. Executed by a team with continuous blockchain infrastructure experience since 2017.

◈

AI Infrastructure

Private LLM deployment, GPU hosting, and agent development resources. Portfolio companies building AI products access the same infrastructure stack Zubra operates for enterprise clients.

◈

Ecosystem Network

Relationships built across a decade inside Web3 and AI: protocol teams, technical founders, infrastructure operators, and institutional partners.

◈

Operational Expertise

Practical knowledge of running complex systems in production: reliability engineering, scaling decisions, incident management, and the operational discipline required at each growth stage.
