Interplay

Interplay is a startup ecosystem where ideas scale. Our mission is to accelerate humankind’s potential by streamlining the journey of the entrepreneur. Our ecosystem consists of five business lines that fall under three divisions: Capital, Studio, and Platform. Capital: Our venture capital arm invests in early stage, technology-enabled businesses in North America. We back startups that have demonstrated quantifiable financial and operational fundamentals, including a scaling customer base, early product-market fit and real revenue growth. Separately, our family office provides members full-service portfolio construction and investment management, with an emphasis on alternative assets via direct and fund investments. Additionally, members receive advisory-services for estate planning, philanthropic engagement, emergency planning, and tax optimization. Studio: We cofound and incubate companies. When we cofound a company, we’re typically starting from scratch – taking our own ideas and building them out of our foundry. Through our incubator, we support the growth of other teams by providing mentorship, enabling them to scale their company. Platform: Our platform consists of five service companies that provide core operating business solutions, including accounting, marketing, legal, professional development and outsourcing. In addition to the above services, we create educational content to help founders turn their vision into reality. Our two flagship pieces of content are a podcast that focuses on integral startup lessons for founders and a book about the rules of fundraising. We also manage a number of startup communities, including the largest entrepreneurship community associated with Columbia University called the Columbia Venture Community.
