At the Intersection of Technology, Capital & Power

Strategic Focus
How We Think About Capital
We build and acquire businesses that gain from disorder, operate at critical infrastructure nodes, and compound value across decades—not quarters.
Anti-Fragile Design
Prioritize systems that gain from disorder over those merely optimized for current conditions. Resilience is strategy.
Power Law Positioning
Capital flows to concentrations of geopolitical and technological power. We invest where structural advantage compounds.
Patient Capital
Permanent capital structure enables decade-long holding periods. We optimize for compounding, not quarterly performance.
Systems Thinking
Deep understanding of how complex distributed systems work at scale. Technology, markets, and geopolitics as interconnected systems.
Why This Background Matters
Most investors analyze from the outside. Zakaria Khan built the systems from the inside—then deployed capital based on that understanding.
From Builder to Strategic Capital
The early career was spent designing Future Internet Architectures at the EU, leading complex telecom system development at Ericsson, and running global operations at Telenor.
Founded Blomstra Ventures in 2017 to combine systems-level technical insight with real capital deployment.
🔬 Technical Depth
Former EU FP7 Research Scientist and telecom executive. Understands deployment cost, technical constraints, and geopolitical implications—not just market hype.
⚖️ Strategic Power Analysis
Navigated complex institutional environments, legal battles, and multi-stakeholder negotiations. Knows where real leverage resides.
💎 Deployed Capital
Years of real money across real estate, public markets, and building operating companies. Skin in the game, not consultant slides.
