AlleyCorp

A New York venture studio that both founds companies internally and invests externally.

Program Type
Venture Studio & Fund
Headquarters
New York, New York
Focus
Healthcare, Robotics & Software

Overview

AlleyCorp was built by Kevin Ryan, previously chief executive of DoubleClick, and operates as both a company creation studio and an investment firm.

Its distinguishing pattern is founding companies from inside the firm and recruiting chief executives into them, rather than only backing founders who arrive with an idea.

Program Structure

  • Companies incubated internally and staffed by the firm
  • Chief executive recruiting handled as a core studio function
  • Separate investment activity in externally founded companies
  • Concentration in healthcare, robotics, and business software
  • Long-term involvement rather than fixed programme length

What They Look For

  • Experienced operators ready to run a company from formation
  • Sectors where the firm already holds a thesis
  • Founders comfortable with a studio co-founding relationship
  • New York-based teams in most cases
  • Large, structurally inefficient markets
Notable Portfolio

Companies they've backed.

Companies co-founded through the firm and its predecessor include MongoDB, Business Insider, Gilt Groupe, Zola, and Nomad Health.

Recent creation activity has concentrated in healthcare services and robotics.
