Interlace Ventures
Early-stage venture capital firm investing in technology companies reshaping commerce, with a network of more than 100 corporations and offices in New York City and San Francisco.
Interlace Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm that invests in founders reimagining commerce. Its stated focus is on technology companies across the commerce and retail technology value chain, with particular attention to emerging business models in the sector. The firm operates from New York City and San Francisco.
Beyond providing capital, the firm works with global brands and retailers on their innovation efforts, and connects its portfolio companies with enterprise brands, retailers, and decision-makers. This corporate-facing activity is supported by a network of more than 100 corporations and 400 professionals, which the firm draws on to make introductions for its portfolio; more than 100 such introductions were made in 2023.
That network is organised through the firm's Commerce Platform, a service designed to help portfolio founders identify advisors, pilot opportunities, customers, service partners, industry resources, and investors for future funding rounds. The offering reflects a model in which commercial access - pilots, customers, and follow-on relationships - is treated as a core part of early-stage support alongside investment.
Interlace Ventures' technical domains of interest are commerce technology, retail technology, and emerging business models, spanning the commerce, retail technology, and retail verticals.
