Alabaster

What they do

Alabaster was founded by serial entrepreneurs Sonny Vu and Christy Trang Le to manage their family's capital and invest in breakthrough technologies. Positioned as an operator-led family office, the firm leverages the founders' extensive experience in scaling hardware, software, and consumer tech companies. Alabaster is distinctive for its highly technical focus, specifically targeting "hard tech" and scientific breakthroughs rather than pure software-as-a-service. They have built a strong reputation in the deep-tech ecosystem as founder-friendly, patient capital providers with a truly global footprint.

What they look for

Alabaster invests in "founders to help them grow breakthrough companies that will make a positive, planet-level impact." The firm categorizes its investments into two main buckets: "Science for tomorrow" (companies creating the industries of tomorrow using differentiated technology based on scientific breakthroughs) and "Tech for today" (companies developing technology to answer today’s pressing needs). They look for visionary founders building radical solutions in deep tech, materials science, semiconductors, and biotechnology, with a strong focus on climate change reversal technologies.
