We invest up to $140k in Pre-seed Startups

“StudioAlpha is exceptional because Fabian and the team truly understand founders and consistently puts them first. The team brings a thoughtful, collaborative approach that makes founders feel supported while still pushing them forward.”

“What stands out about StudioAlpha is how clearly they’ve structured the journey, from the selection process and investment to Pitch Day and what comes next.”

“A lot of investors say they back founders, but StudioAlpha has built a model that lets them actually do it. They work with a small group of founders, which means they know you and your company well enough to really show up when the path forward isn’t obvious. I experienced that firsthand with Fabian when I was faced with a particularly challenging decision. His instinct was immediately, “Let’s figure this out together,” and he rolled up his sleeves to help me rethink the strategy and find a way forward. That’s what backing a founder feels like in practice, and why its great to have Studio Alpha as our investors.”

“With StudioAlpha it was never just the money. From the early days on, the regular ops and strategy calls made a real difference and pushed us to think bigger than we had planned ourselves, whether on pricing our product or negotiating with enterprise customers. And beyond the business side, they are simply people you enjoy working with, warm and full of energy. Really happy to be part of their portfolio.”

“StudioAlpha was there with us at the grassroots; before there was much to point to beyond the initial team, the product, and the ambition. They’ve consistently shown up at the moments that mattered most, whether that meant advice, introductions, or simply putting real resources behind us when we needed them. Having people in your corner at the earliest and most formative stages is rare, and that’s what StudioAlpha has been for Irys.”
