About Melissa Cheong
Trevor Zimmerman co-founded two thematically linked investment firms (Blackhorn Ventures and Unless) around resource efficiency and industrial transformation, positioning himself as a repeat founder of investment platforms rather than just a VC at a single fund. He focuses specifically on deep tech and industrial automation deals in manufacturing, logistics, construction, energy, and transportation—backing technically complex companies like Vecna Robotics and Humatics rather than typical software-only climate solutions.
