Hanzo Ventures backs founders working on AI infrastructure, decentralized systems, and

the tooling underneath both. We are operators before we are investors — Hanzo AI, Lux

and Zoo are ours — so what we bring is the platform, the engineers who built it, and a
|

straight answer about what does not work yet.

<h2>What we fund</h2>
|

<p>
|

We invest where we have run the code ourselves. That is a narrow band, and saying so
|

is more useful to a founder than a broad thesis nobody can act on.

<h3>AI infrastructure</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Inference, agents, retrieval, evaluation — the plumbing under the models rather than
|
||
another wrapper on top of them. We run this in production at hanzo.ai.

<h3>Decentralized systems</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Chains, identity, post-quantum cryptography, settlement. Lux is our own work in this
|
||
area, so we can read your protocol rather than take your word for it.

</div>

<h3>Developer tools</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Things engineers choose on a Tuesday without asking permission. If adoption depends
|
||
on a procurement cycle, we are the wrong fund.

<h3>Open weights and open source</h3>

We publish the Zen weights and most of our stack. We are comfortable with companies
|
||
whose core is readable, and we know how those businesses actually make money.

<h2>The Hanzo Startup Program</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The program is run by Hanzo AI and the application lives at hanzo.ai/startups. It is
|
||
open whether or not we ever invest — the credits are not a term sheet and carry no
|
||
equity.

<b>Start free</b>
|

<p>

An account costs nothing. Add funds when you are ready and pay for what you use — no
|
||
subscription, no minimum, no call with anybody.

</p>
|

|

<b>Bring your own compute</b>

<p>

Connect GPUs and machines you already have. We meter the platform, not your iron, so
|
||
a rack in a closet stays cheap to run.

<div className="step">
|

<b>Up to $150,000 in credits</b>

For venture-backed teams. An application is required and tier-one backing is a

condition of the credits tier specifically.
