Australian-backed VC firm opens office in Houston

The Houston Business Journal recently reported on an Australian-backed VC firm, Zikyn Inc., that has opened an office at 11200 Westheimer.  The CEO, Bridgette Penel, says that Zikyn is “a combination seed capital, incubator and venture capital firm” with an average expected investment of “$200k and up.”  Also, apparently they are not limiting themselves to any specific industries. Penel says “We’re open to anyone with a great business or concept.” 

With all of the great ideas in Houston’s tech startup community, hopefully we will be hearing soon about someone who has given Zikyn a good reason to invest.
