Company profile
researched Aug 2026Vibe Capital (vibe.vc) is an early-stage venture capital firm founded by Ankur Nagpal, the founder of the creator-education platform Teachable, which he scaled to more than $50M in ARR before its sale to Hotmart, where he sits on the board. The firm invests in early-stage technology companies globally, selecting deals against a set of stated theses rather than a single sector focus.
Those theses cover venture capital's role in large emerging markets (India, Brazil, Pakistan, Latin America, Africa), platforms and software that enable or serve entrepreneurs, startups that widen access to opportunity, the continued financialization of consumer and crypto markets, and proactive physical and mental wellness. The firm has raised two funds: Fund 1 at $12M, which backed 82 companies, and Fund 2 at $70M. A third-party fund profile characterizes typical check sizes as $0-$500K across pre-seed, seed and Series A, with previous investments spanning fintech, e-commerce, healthtech and wellness, education, AI and deep tech, B2B software, advertising and marketing, and food and beverage.
Founding story
Nagpal describes founding Vibe Capital as a way to stay close to founders after his operating career at Teachable, where he ran growth and marketing before becoming CEO and where he observed creators and entrepreneurs emerging as the platform's most effective teachers. The firm's site was created in response to feedback that investors are not taken seriously without one.
Business model
Vibe Capital operates as a venture fund that deploys limited partner and principal capital into equity stakes in early-stage startups. It charges no management fee, so all committed capital is invested into companies, and it takes carried interest as its economic upside; roughly one third of the capital in each fund is the firm's own money.
The firm forgoes management fees and earns economics through carried interest, a share of profits after the fund is returned, plus returns on the principals' own capital committed to each fund.
Traction
Fund 1, at $12M across 82 companies, reported 25 portfolio companies with priced-round markups and 8 with substantial SAFE markups, standing at 1.7x TVPI and 65% IRR. Fund 2 is $70M and had been investing for about four months with no results disclosed. The LP base exceeds 100 investors, with individual commitments ranging from $10,000 to $10,000,000. A third-party profile records 12 investments, a historical average check of $5.9M, a historical maximum check of $33M, and a last investment date of January 2025.
