Consumer habits are changing, but they sit atop universal human needs: social connection, entertainment, relaxation, convenience, transparency, and trust. These needs will endure, even as new products and new technologies fulfill them in different ways.
ZX INVESTMENTS
Raise a Glass

From soda water

ZX Ventures works with innovative companies to help consumers access stronger friendships, better products, more exciting experiences, and smoother purchasing journeys. At the same time, we leverage technology to adapt AB InBev’s internal operations to better serve our consumers and the world.
We’re here to build. So are you.
We invest in companies around the world that have a proven revenue model and a demonstrated ability to work with large-scale corporations. We focus on strategic outcomes, not just financial returns, so we tend to connect our portfolio companies to teams around AB InBev to launch commercial pilots before we invest. We also make acquisitions, particularly of craft breweries and direct-to-consumer brands.
