Value Add

Geographic and stage focus: self-described as "LA's premier pre-seed fund" and one of the earliest first-check funds in LA (since 2011), having been the "first partner to 80+ companies to-date."
Early, leading capital: "we invest as close to a company’s inception as possible, we lead rounds," signaling willingness to lead pre-seed checks.
Operator and mentor network: a curated Amplify Mentor Network of 120+ experienced operators, strategists, and executives who are "invited" to support portfolio companies (mentors who can devote time and expertise).
Founder‑centric reputation: repeated emphasis on being founders’ "strongest advocates" and the investor "that mattered to founders" in LA, reinforced by team experience across economic cycles (Fund VI, long tenure of partners).
Sector tilt with breadth: portfolio examples span fintech, consumer AI/voice, care/healthtech and enterprise AI (e.g., FloQast, Volley, Upwards, Wayfarer), plus mentions of gov/defense/transportation AI capabilities.
Track record + continuity: multi‑fund history (Fund VI), merger with Stage Venture Partners to deepen pre‑seed B2B capabilities and founder relationships.
