About

Interplay is a New York-based venture capital firm founded in 2012, specializing in early-stage investments across various sectors, including B2B marketplaces, vertical software, and technology-enabled businesses. The firm focuses on Seed and Series A stages, providing capital ranging from $500K to $3M per investment. Interplay's investment philosophy centers on supporting companies with demonstrated financial and operational fundamentals, such as a scaling customer base and early product-market fit.

The firm's portfolio includes notable companies like Aterian, Coinbase, Coursehorse, Jellysmack, Nodal, and Warby Parker. In November 2023, Interplay closed its third fund, raising $45 million, bringing its total assets under management to $150 million.
