Bee Partners Promotes Alejandra Vergara to Principal

Bee Partners, a pre-seed venture capital firm with offices in Silicon Valley and Denver, has promoted Alejandra “Ale” Vergara to Principal.

Ms. Vergara first joined Bee Partners as an MBA intern in 2021 and became a full-time member of the team in 2022. She has been actively involved in the firm’s investments in human-machine interaction (HMI) and machine-to-machine learning (M2ML).

As Principal, Ms. Vergara will continue to lead Bee Partners’ go-to-market strategies for its portfolio of deep tech startups, with a focus on companies operating in the generative AI and HMI spaces. Some of the companies she has supported include TensorStax, a developer of autonomous agents designed to streamline machine learning workflows; Okareo, which provides tools for testing, evaluating, and improving AI and machine learning models; Wayfound, a platform for managing and supervising AI agents; and Atym, a company offering automated systems for managing, deploying, scaling, and networking containerized applications on edge devices.

“Ale has been a tremendous force since the day she joined Bee Partners,” said Michael Berolzheimer, founder and managing partner at Bee Partners. “Her strategic insights and relentless dedication to the founders we support have consistently contributed to the firm’s success. Several of the companies she’s invested in are well on their way to their next funding rounds.”

“I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to continue my journey with Bee Partners,” said Ms. Vergara. “I love rolling up my sleeves and supporting wherever I’m most needed: with our founders, deal team, or broader ecosystem of venture partners and advisors. There’s nothing more rewarding than being a catalyzer to those who consistently push the boundaries of what’s possible. I always seem to want more because I believe we can always do more.”

Before joining Bee Partners, Ms. Vergara spent six years in financial services and investment management, including a role as portfolio manager at Chile-headquartered Falcom Asset Management.

Ms. Vergara holds an undergraduate degree in business administration from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and an MBA from UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business.

Bee Partners, founded in 2009 and headquartered in San Francisco, focuses on early-stage investments, particularly in deep tech sectors such as AI, machine learning, and industrial automation. The firm typically invests between $500,000 and $1.5 million in pre-seed startups, often before a company has launched its product or generated revenue.
