Ryan Freedman is a Co-Founder and General Partner at Alpaca VC, a New York-based seed firm where he leverages two decades of experience building investment platforms in real estate, technology, and specialty finance. He leads the firm’s focus on early-stage tech-enabled companies, specifically targeting enterprise software and marketplaces applied to physical-world sectors like PropTech and FinTech at the seed and Series A stages. Alpaca VC typically leads rounds across sectors rather than following, with the firm’s third fund closing at $78 million to support these investments. Notable portfolio companies include Compass, Latch, The Guild, and Bowery Valuation, all PropTech ventures he has actively led. Freedman’s distinctive point of view centers on bringing efficiency and innovation to the “real world” through technology, a perspective shaped by his prior founding of Corigin, a $600 million real estate investment firm. He describes his approach as both relationship-first and data-first, emphasizing the adoption of real estate technology to enhance operations and investment decisions.
