We believe creating something of true significance starts with seeing things others do not. This ability shows up in rare Founders. Those who think independently and creatively. Outsiders who never compromise their point of view, and never give up. As Founders, we reinvented industries with this mindset. As investors, our approach is no different – our goal is to transform how innovators are funded. We fund you first and we fund you fast. Then we help you get it right fast. Then we help you raise your next round at levels that are often embarrassingly high. We bring the Founders we back exponential yet little-known techniques for network effects and growth. We make visible the typically unseen methods and give you unfair advantages. Having built 10 companies with more than $10 billion in exits across multiple industries and geographies, we’re entrepreneur-first because we were entrepreneurs first. And we’re determined to guard the backs of the next generation of fearless founders.

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.

We believe in the untapped potential of the Saudi entrepreneur. With the right support, network, and funding, we can scale up opportunities to become globally competitive.
