Analise Roland is a founder, investor, and strategist who turns bold ideas into real companies. She is the CEO of Anura Capital and ApiaryAlpha Advisory, with a track record of growing impact companies and launching venture studios in greenfield spaces — spanning tech and innovation, real estate, human behavior, food systems, and impact.

Think of Analise as your bridge — helping you, your company, and your goals move from idea to reality. You can see where you want to go, but you’re not quite sure how to get there. Or maybe where you’re headed just isn’t working yet. That’s exactly where she does her best work. Whether you’re validating a concept, raising your next round, building your network, navigating a pivot, or allocating capital as an investor or family office, Analise brings the clarity, candor, and connections to help you move forward.
