RZC Investments

We operate an investment fund, with a flexible capital mandate that provides tailored capital solutions to the venture capital, growth equity and buyout markets. Not only do our investments create tangible and intangible benefits to our region but they also are expected to enhance the economic fabric, growth, and perception of Northwest Arkansas.

Examples of such investments include those in Allied Cycle Works and Rapha, which have helped develop and catalyze infrastructure bets intended to make Northwest Arkansas a global destination for cycling.

ALLIED Cycle Works

Allied Cycle Works designs, engineers, and manufactures bikes right here in America that embody beauty, power, and utility.

ALLIED is reinstituting much-needed passion back into the industry.
