Advisor FAQ's

We invest in seed and early-stage startup companies that have potential for capital gains on our equity investments and ordinary income from debt and debt-like investments. The stages we invest in are seed and series A. 

The companies we invest in are generally technology or technology-enabled, in what we believe to be high-growth markets.

Any individual in the United States that is at least 18 years old can invest in Zell Capital, regardless of net worth. 

Investors can create an investment account as an individual, a joint account or as an entity.

An Access Fund is an investment company registered under the 1940 Investment Company Act, as amended. The purpose of an Access Fund is to open up private market fund investment opportunities to all investors, not just accredited investors. 

Zell Capital has created likely the first Access Fund, with an investment strategy focused on early stage venture capital. This is likely the first fund that all investors can participate in, that provides access to this asset class.

The initial minimum investment into Zell Capital is $1,000 and any subsequent investment minimum is $240.  Traditionally, investors in venture capital allocate only a small portion of their investment portfolio to this type of asset. 

The Company has no present intention to offer liquidity to shareholders other than in the form of distributions from investments. To the extent the Company decides to conduct a subsequent offering, the Company may offer to repurchase a portion of its Shares on a limited basis from shareholders. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will decide to offer to repurchase Shares in the near term, if at all.

Zell Capital will primarily invest in seed and early-growth stage companies, also known as venture capital. Returns will be generated when we sell our shares in the startup in the future. A typical holding period of our investment into each startup will be at least seven years.

Secondarily, we will invest through debt and debt-like instruments into seed and early-growth stage companies. We expect these investments to generate ordinary income which will be distributed to investors based on our requirements as a Regulated Investment Company (RIC).

Zell Capital is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. As a publicly registered fund we are required to file regular updates with the SEC and provide certain information, including disclosures about our investment activities and risks related to our offering. 

Access to all filings will be conveniently available to our investors and can also be found here: SEC Filings

The Fee and Expense table in the prospectus includes nuances that are important to understand. Please read our Fees and Expenses Explained for an overview of what investors can expect to incur in terms of fees and expenses.

Our investments in what we believe to be rapidly growing venture-capital-backed emerging companies may be extremely risky and we could lose all or part of our investments.  Significant risks of investing in venture capital backed emerging companies are: these companies may have limited financial resources, limited operating histories, and have generally less predictable operating results. Because they are privately owned, there is generally little publicly available information about these businesses.  Also, early-stage and development-stage companies have a high rate of failure and often experience unexpected problems.

We plan to focus a significant portion of our investing in technology companies, which may cause the value of our interests to be susceptible to factors affecting the technology industry and therefore subject to greater risk than an investment in a fund that invests in a broader range of securities.

The marketplace for venture capital investing has become increasingly competitive, making it difficult for us to locate an adequate number of attractive investment opportunities.

Because our investments are generally not in publicly traded securities, there will be uncertainty regarding the value of our investments, which could adversely affect the determination of our net asset value.

One of the key elements of our structure as an Access Fund is the potential for investors of the type we expect to attract to provide expertise to our portfolio companies in various areas. There is no guarantee that any of our investors will, in fact, have expertise that would be useful for any of our portfolio companies, or if they have such expertise, that they would have any interest in working with our portfolio companies.

We have identified only a few specific investments that we may make with the proceeds from this offering. As a result, this may be deemed to be a “blind pool” offering and you will not have the opportunity to evaluate historical data or assess any investments prior to purchasing our Shares. 

There can be no assurance that the results predicted or targeted will be attained, and actual results may be significantly different from the statements on this website. Also, general economic factors, which are not predictable, can have a material impact on the reliability of our targeted results.

 Investing involves risk.  Loss of principal is possible.

Investing in our shares involves a high degree of risk. Before buying any shares, you should read the discussion of the material risks of investing in our shares in “Risk Factors” in the prospectus, a summary of which is also found here.  Our shares will not be publicly traded, and you will have very limited liquidity, may not be able to sell your shares, and may not receive a full return of your invested capital, regardless of how we perform.
