## About Tapas Capital

Tapas Capital is an early-stage investment firm founded by Managing Partner Rob Eldridge in 2017, based in Bellevue, Washington. Eldridge spent over a decade at Amazon in product management, finance, and investor relations leadership roles, and was previously a senior investment banker in Silicon Valley completing transactions worth over $2 billion in the semiconductor, software, and media industries.

The firm partners with builders of disruptive technologies, investing across information technology, B2B, B2C, media, and retail sectors, primarily at the seed stage in U.S.-based startups, particularly in the Pacific Northwest.

With roughly 32 investments and 2 unicorns to date, notable portfolio companies include Groopit, Crisp, Vega Cloud, Market Wagon, and Codify, with Fernish as a past exit. Former Amazon Prime and delivery experience VP Dave Clark and others have joined as venture advisors, adding operational depth to the firm's guidance.

Tapas Capital's investment approach centers on providing capital alongside strategic, hands-on guidance to founders at critical points in their growth journey, leveraging Eldridge's operating and dealmaking background across both large technology companies and financial services.
