WHO WE ARE
Our Story
Mosaic ETA was co-founded by Julien Ham-Ying and Eduardo Zaldivar, after the two met pursuing MBA’s at Stanford Graduate School of Business. From their investing experience, education, and unique personal perspectives, they realized the best businesses are built with diverse entrepreneurs.
Mosaic ETA was incubated at Stanford University under the guidance of search fund pioneers including Peter B. Kelly and is part of a vision to generate superior financial returns while fostering a more inclusive economy. Together, they aim to reduce the wealth gap for diverse communities by investing in search funds lead by women and people of color.
