Amplo is a global venture capital firm founded by Sheel Tyle, investing at the seed to Series A stage in companies spanning fintech, healthcare, real-estate technology, AI and automation, education, insurance, and logistics. The firm's tagline — "We help build companies that matter" — frames a thesis of backing globally ambitious founders across diverse sectors rather than concentrating on a single vertical.
Amplo's portfolio includes Robinhood, Intercom, Ironclad, Parsley Health, Andela, TravelPerk, 1Concern, and more than two dozen others. The firm has built an unusually international board of advisors and partners — including former Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard, former New Zealand Prime Minister John Key, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Leymah Gbowee — reflecting its stated focus on companies with global ambition and societal impact alongside commercial returns.
