About David Arcara

David Arcara is the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Laconia Capital Group, a New York-based seed fund he launched in 2014 after a two-decade career as an entrepreneur and operator in media, marketing, and financial technology. His investment thesis focuses exclusively on seed-stage B2B software companies that improve efficiency in existing markets and workflows, with a geographic concentration in the United States. Arcara typically invests between $500,000 and $1 million per deal, with a preferred check size of $750,000, and often acts as a lead investor in these early rounds. Notable portfolio companies where he has served on the board or as an investor include Noteworth (acquired by Goldman Sachs), ExecVision, TowerIQ, and xtraCHEF. He brings distinctive operator experience as a five-time founder who raised nearly $100 million in angel and venture capital before transitioning to investing. While Arcara has held board roles at several technology firms, the available sources do not document specific public writing or a unique published point of view beyond his firm’s stated focus on disciplined backing of B2B founders.
