About
Acequia Capital (Acecap) is an early‑stage investment platform founded in 2010 by Hank Vigil, a former Microsoft senior executive. Based in Seattle with a global footprint, Acequia backs technology founders—primarily at pre‑seed and seed—through flexible, founder‑friendly checks and close, operator‑led support. The firm focuses on software‑driven categories across consumer and enterprise (such as SaaS, data/AI‑enabled products, marketplaces, fintech and productivity tools) and often co‑invests alongside top venture funds. Beyond capital, Acequia helps teams refine product strategy, distribution and partnerships, drawing on a deep network of experienced operators and industry leaders.
