ZigZag Capital
Acquiring and operating a single great small business for the long term.
Built to Own,
Not to Flip.
ZigZag Capital is a private investment partnership formed by Rushi and Paras with a singular focus: to acquire, operate, and grow one exceptional small business.
We are hands-on operators, not financial engineers. We plan to step into day-to-day leadership of the business we acquire and dedicate our full professional energy to its long-term success. We are backed by a network of experienced investors and advisors but operate independently—this is not a fund that will flip your business in 3–5 years.
We believe the best businesses are built by their founders and deserve new ownership that will preserve their legacy, take care of their employees, and continue to serve their customers.

We seek established, profitable small businesses ready for their next chapter.
