Alpha Partners

About

Our mission: to serve our seed and early stage investor partners and the heroic teams they back.

We partner with Early-Stage VCs to double down in their leading companies. Small, specialist VCs are the first funders of 80% of unicorns and tech IPOs, but 90% of the time, these first funders lack the capital to follow on in their growth stage winners. Alpha is purpose built to solve this capital gap for Early-Stage VCs. As a result, Alpha invests in top-tier growth equity rounds led by the world’s best investors.

Rational and Agile Capital

As experienced entrepreneurs and early stage venture capital investors, we founded Alpha Partners to be an agile co-investor. We make rapid investment decisions. We’re flexible on investment size. We believe in direct communication and transparency with our partners. While we may assist with fundraising, recruiting, and strategic relationships, we rarely take board seats.

Experienced at Scale

Alpha Partners was founded by experienced early stage venture capital investors and former entrepreneurs with more than 75 years of combined experience. Our team, including our close advisors, have founded and helped to scale multi-billion dollar venture and private equity firms as well as made hundreds of investments themselves.

Friendly

The venture ecosystem can be rough and tumble. We find that our best introductions come from high-quality referred deals from our friends, our fellow entrepreneurs, and venture firms we often partner with. As a result, we aspire to be as responsive, transparent, and easy to work with as we can be. Friendly.

Not a Black Box

Making an investment is about capitalizing on a business opportunity as well as forming a partnership. In evaluating an investment, we weigh leadership team quality, revenue velocity, category leadership, concept simplicity, strategic partner strength, market size and growth. That said, we’ve found that companies over $5 million in annual revenue that are growing tend to stay on that growth path.

Trestle Partners

Trestle Partners is a private investment fund investing solely in pre-Series A and Series A SaaS businesses. We provide capital to founders so they can continue to scale without committing to the Bay Area's single-track approach to growth. Our founders have built platforms with strong product-market fit and responsible growth patterns. Our Approach We believe the SaaS business model is the most efficient in history. Given its inherent attributes (recurring revenue, high gross margin, controllable cost structure), founders can scale a SaaS business more efficiently now than ever before. So why has the average early-stage financing grown >3x in the last 8 years? Because the VCs who invest in this space have raised enormous funds and need to increase the size of their investments to make their own economics work. We believe this focus on huge rounds has created a dependence on unrealistic growth expectations, which has led to a couple of enormous success stories... but far more failures. Trestle offers founders the ability to continue to grow their business and hit milestones, while keeping their options open and avoiding the pitfalls that come with the traditional VC path.
