Diverse founders continue to face significant challenges when raising capital to grow and scale their companies.

Zane Venture Fund is changing the landscape of venture capital by supporting underrepresented founders in their quest to create thriving sustainable businesses that provide generational wealth opportunities for their families and their communities.

Comprised of a diverse team of operators, engineers, and advisories, Zane Venture invests in exceptional talent who are building tech-enabled solutions across the Southeast.

To increase the success rate for first-time founders, the Zane Venture Team created Zane Access, the programmatic vehicle that delivers the access underrepresented founders need to build sustainable businesses and generational wealth. This includes access to peers, business experts, mentors, and investors.

Stefanie Diaz is a partner at Zane Venture Fund and Chair of the Board for Zane Access, two organizations founded to address the $4 trillion opportunity, largely untapped, diverse teams bring to venture.

Stefanie has been named an Atlanta Startup Wonder Woman by Hypepotamus, listed as one of 39 Atlanta Female Leaders to Follow by Startup Sisters, and has 15 years of experience spanning marketing, entrepreneurship, and investor relations.

She serves as Co-Chair for TiE Atlanta Angels, an Advisor at Atlanta Tech Village, and a mentor at Techsquare Labs’ Atlanta Startup Battle, and continues to run The Women Only Experience (WOE), one of Atlanta’s most dynamic and diverse organizations for female founders, which she founded in 2017.

Stefanie also hosts a podcast, She Conquers Capital, where she amplifies the voices of diverse female CEO’s, venture partners, and angel investors.

Getting capital into the hands of female and minority entrepreneurs is hard. Stefanie’s passion for empowering underrepresented founders and her expertise in investor relations power her contributions to shifting the flow of capital.
