AlphaPrime Ventures

AlphaPrime Ventures is a New York-based early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2013 by Alessandro Piol and Claudia Iannazzo, focused on technologies that protect and manage assets and people. Headquartered at 1345 Avenue of the Americas, the firm brings deep expertise in the security and emerging technology sectors, backing companies at the intersection of cybersecurity, IoT, network security, machine learning, robotics, public safety, physical security, autonomous vehicles, predictive analytics, AI, and cloud security. Managing Partner Alessandro Piol leads the investment thesis with a long track record in security and enterprise technology. AlphaPrime leads seed rounds in US-based startups, deploying $1 million to $5 million per deal. The portfolio of 5 companies includes Vestorly (AI-powered content marketing) and CoPromote (social media amplification). The firm takes a thesis-driven approach, targeting the convergence of physical and digital security as a long-term structural opportunity. AlphaPrime's focused investment universe — spanning AI, robotics, IoT, and cybersecurity — reflects a conviction that the increasing interconnection of physical and digital environments creates persistent demand for security and trust infrastructure. The firm seeks early-stage companies with differentiated technical approaches to problems in these domains, providing not only seed capital but also the benefit of founders' access to Alessandro Piol's industry relationships across corporate security buyers, defence contractors, and the broader enterprise technology community in the United States.
