Anzu Partners is a private investment firm founded in 2014 that focuses on industrial and life science technology ventures. Headquartered in Tampa, Florida, with offices in Washington, DC; San Diego; Boston; and Atlanta, the firm manages nearly $1 billion across a range of funding vehicles, including venture capital funds, a revenue-based financing vehicle and a special purpose acquisition company. Its leadership team brings more than 60 years of combined experience as investors and consultants. Anzu seeks to support innovative technologies that have the potential to transform manufacturing processes, energy systems and healthcare solutions.
Anzu Partners supports companies at various stages, offering early-stage venture investments, growth capital through debt and revenue-based financing, and assistance with public market transactions such as SPACs and IPOs. The firm provides more than financial resources by offering guidance in business development, market positioning, talent acquisition, intellectual property strategy and operational execution. Typical investments range from $5 million to $15 million per transaction, with a focus on North America and select markets abroad. By partnering closely with founders, Anzu aims to guide firms from prototype validation through commercialization and scaling.
A significant portion of Anzu’s Fund III targets clean technology and battery innovation to advance sustainable energy solutions. Portfolio companies include AM Batteries, which uses a dry-electrode method to reduce manufacturing costs and emissions; e-Zinc, offering zinc-based systems for long-duration energy storage; South 8 Technologies, developing liquefied gas electrolytes for safer, high-performance batteries; and 6K, employing plasma processing to produce advanced materials for energy storage devices. The firm also backs XGS Energy’s scalable geothermal power systems and Xendee’s microgrid design software. These investments aim to enhance storage efficiency, cut carbon footprints and support wider adoption of renewable energy.
