Alpine Ventures

Alpine VC targets founders who are relentless about their products and users, focusing on companies in consumer tech, prosumer software (including tools for creators and developers), and software designed for SMBs. Alpine prioritizes product-led growth (PLG) startups and seeks companies whose products directly resonate with and serve their customers effectively. With typical check sizes from $250,000 to $1 million, they invest at the seed and Series A stages, comfortable leading, co-leading, or joining larger syndicates for flexible collaboration. Alpine operates globally but is rooted in Alameda, California. They emphasize founder passion over traditional metrics like education or professional background, valuing founders who live and breathe their products and who demonstrate an unwavering commitment to the user experience. Alpine’s strategy revolves around building strong, supportive relationships with founders, aiding in everything from go-to-market strategies to operational scaling and customer engagement. The Alpine team is known for its user-centered investment approach, thinking from the perspective of the end user to drive meaningful product development. They encourage founders to pitch directly, favoring those with a clear vision, deep product insights, and a strong connection to their target market. This lean, founder-focused approach allows Alpine to spot high-potential opportunities and help guide early-stage companies through pivotal growth stages, making Alpine an ideal partner for innovative, product-driven startups seeking flexible, strategic support.
