About Amy Trakinski

Amy Trakinski is the Managing Director of VegInvest, a mission-driven investment firm that provides early-stage capital to companies developing alternatives to animal use, and she previously practiced animal law for 18 years as a partner at Egert and Trakinski. Her investment thesis focuses on early-stage ventures in the animal alternatives sector, with a geographic focus aligned with her New York base. While her typical check size and lead/follow behavior are not publicly documented, VegInvest’s mission-driven model suggests targeted early-stage support for animal welfare innovations. Notable portfolio companies include Wild Earth Inc., for which she serves on the board, and ventures supported through her advisory role at the Material Innovation Initiative. Trakinski does not appear to have published distinctive public writing on investing, but her 18-year legal career litigating for national animal protection organizations shapes her investor perspective. She holds a B.A. in History from Binghamton University and a J.D. from Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, grounding her investment approach in both legal expertise and mission alignment.
