Analyse your fitInvestment thesis
Amplo is a global venture capital firm focused on investing in the best entrepreneurs globally — people building companies that are changing a small part of the world. Founded by Sheel Tyle, the firm specifically targets young, mission-driven founders with globally ambitious visions, backing companies across financial technology, artificial intelligence, education, mental health, and software. The portfolio spans 6 continents and includes companies solving large, often overlooked problems with software-first, capital-efficient approaches. As Tyle has stated, Amplo looks for founders with three traits in common: a very strong team, forward-thinking and inspirational leadership, and a large market opportunity. The firm believes that entrepreneurs focused on changing the world — rather than purely on money — tend to build better, more enduring companies. Amplo operates as the venture arm of Collective Global, which also includes Elevate (GP staking) and Tactica (late-stage opportunistic investing).
Notable quotes
“I am the founder and CEO of Amplo, a next-generation venture capital firm focused on investing in the best entrepreneurs globally – people who are building companies that are changing a small part of the world. I specifically focus on young entrepreneurs in their twenties and thirties, because many of the world's best companies have been founded by young entrepreneurs.”
“I think if entrepreneurs are focused on changing the world and building a company that transforms a small part of humanity, then they tend to build better companies. The best entrepreneurs do not care about money.”
“We have a company called Axion Ray that exemplifies another thesis of ours: the potential for AI in enterprise settings, particularly in supply chain management and quality control. AI can help businesses run simulations, detect flaws in complex supply chains, and ultimately save millions, if not billions, of dollars.”
