About

Zia Huque is a General Partner at Prime Movers Lab who brings an unusual combination of former Deutsche Bank Securities CEO experience and current public company board service at Equity Residential, giving him both global investment banking leadership and active governance experience that most venture investors lack. He focuses specifically on capital-intensive, engineering-heavy companies tackling physical-world transformations like grid-scale energy storage and advanced materials, while treating founders as "customers" through a service-oriented approach shaped by his background managing large client relationships in global markets.
