About Zygote Capital Partners
Zygote Corporation Ltd. (conducting business as Zygote Capital Partners) was founded in 2020 by a group of angel investors who have recognized a trend for a significant raise in precious metal pricing in the post-COVID period. The trend has proven to be real and precious metal prices, particularly, gold prices have almost doubled during the period. The pool of angel investors who have joined the projects supported by Zygote Capital Partners has subsequently increased ten times fold with over a hundred high-networth certified angel investors participating in the company's projects today. The company is a privately held seed/angel investor focused on early-stage mining projects, targeting opportunities with possible or proven resources and strong management teams.
Selective Focus
We target opportunities with possible or proven resources, choosing fewer, higher-value opportunities.
Strong Teams
We partner with experienced management teams who have proven track records in mining operations.
Flexible Structure
Our structure lets us be selective, flexible, and less risk-averse than traditional LP-funded VCs.
Our Investment Philosophy
We invest our own principal capital—no management fees—so our incentives are simple: we win when enterprise value grows. This alignment ensures we're truly invested in your success.
We often help founders get venture-ready, co-invest, or bridge companies to larger rounds when the time is right. Our approach is collaborative and focused on long-term value creation.

Selective, Flexible Partner
