Alpaca is a venture capital firm that provides support for startup founders to launch and scale their businesses. The company offers growth support, access to downstream capital, and assistance in onboarding new customers.

Alpaca

Alpaca VC is a seed-stage venture capital firm based in New York. We believe that layering technology over daily life transforms how the real world works. So we invest in the people, products and processes that power commerce in the physical world. Together with founders, we kickstart real change with outsized impact. 

Led by a diverse team of company builders, operators, and analytical thinkers, Alpaca has developed a repeatable playbook to help its entrepreneurs most efficiently progress from Seed to Series A. 

If you are an entrepreneur creating an interesting company and would like to contact us, feel free to reach out at hey@alpaca.vc.
