Stellation Capital is a Brooklyn-based pre-seed and seed venture capital firm founded in 2021 by Peter A. Boyce II, who spent eight years at General Catalyst and co-founded its student-founder program Rough Draft Ventures. Operating under the tagline "Backing Founders At First Light" and the thesis "Present Before Proof," Stellation raised a $40M debut fund and writes first checks of roughly $250K-$2.5M, leading and co-leading rounds for "philomath" founding teams whose identities are inseparable from the problems they are solving — across AI and personal computing, fintech, consumer software, online safety, climate/energy, and consumer health. Portfolio companies include Strobe Power, Revin, Tapestry, Hopscotch (acquired by Avalara), Software Applications Incorporated, swsh, Block Party, Hearth Display, and Vybe. Stellation is also a partner fund in Foundry Group's portfolio, which is how it entered the API Evangelist network. The firm publishes no APIs; this profile carries its identity and portfolio graph.
Firms are ranked by cumulative portfolio strength — how many highly-rated API companies they've backed, weighted by tier across composite quality and agent-readiness. The averages below are a secondary read on the typical company in the book.
