Zino Society

ZINO Society was a prominent Seattle-based angel investment group and business network that connected accredited investors with early-stage entrepreneurs. While not a biotechnology company itself, the organization played a significant role in the Pacific Northwest life sciences ecosystem by hosting specialized investment forums such as "ZINO Life," which focused specifically on healthcare and biotech startups. The society provided a platform for its members to pool capital through "ZINO Zillionaire" investment funds to support emerging companies. In addition to funding, it offered educational resources, pitch coaching, and networking opportunities for founders in the life sciences, technology, and consumer product sectors. The organization facilitated millions of dollars in early-stage capital before its founder, Cathi Hatch, retired and the group's formal operations wound down.
