1809 Capital Closes Investment with Zengines

We are pleased to announce our investment in Zengines' recent funding round!

Zengines, which was co-founded by Carl Drisko, has developed an innovative approach to data conversion. When businesses migrate data to new applications, systems, or outsourced services, Zengines automates the end-to-end data conversion process. The Zengines AI platform mitigates the time, cost, and risk involved in data conversions, system migrations, and data onboarding for a variety of business solutions. Zengines is utilized by prominent enterprises, software vendors, and consultants spanning multiple industries.

Hyde Park Venture Partners acted as the lead investor, with the assistance of 1809 Capital's participation. Notably, Greg Barnes, an alumnus of Miami University (Class of 2002), serves as a partner at Hyde Park and is also a limited partner at 1809 Capital.
