Investment Thesis
Amplify is an LA-based, pre-seed investor that partners with founders from day one to provide both capital and hands-on guidance. The firm emphasizes being an “earliest” and “strongest” supporter of “deeply technical and product-obsessed teams,” leading rounds and investing “as close to a company’s inception as possible” with the intent to be the first partner and long-term advocate as companies scale.

Value Add
- Positioned as "LA's premier pre-seed fund" and one of the earliest first-check funds dedicated to LA founders ("Our journey started in 2011, when we raised one of the earliest first-check funds dedicated to LA founders.")
- Track record as first partner to many companies ("We’ve been the first partner to 80+ companies to-date") and portfolio including B2B/enterprise and consumer-technical successes (e.g., FloQast, Volley, Upwards, Penelope).
- Active mentor network ("The Amplify Mentor Network... 120+ mentors") that provides operator-level support, introductions, and occasional operational help.
- Explicit practice of leading pre-seed rounds and investing very early (Alex: "we invest as close to a company’s inception as possible, we lead rounds, and we prefer companies built around meaningful technology").
- Firm experience and longevity: multi-fund history (Fund VI referenced) and team with decades of combined VC/startup experience across economic cycles.
- Recent strategic consolidation (merger with Stage Venture Partners) to deepen LA pre-seed B2B platform and broaden deal flow and expertise.
