Enjoyed time with @FrankCNBC recently. Private credit is scaling fast, not just growth capital, but a strategic layer in #venturecapital. We also unpacked the $60B surge in secondaries, now a vital liquidity tool for #founders & #LPs. @ZealVC 📺 Watch: cnbc.com/video/2025/06/…

DC-based @ZealVC has closed its $82M Fund II, tripling its AUM to $186M in just five years. Backed by investors like Citi, MassMutual Spelman, the fund will invest in early-stage startups across fintech, health, and the future of learning & work. buff.ly/CKVRxwZ
