The original pro rata growth investors.
Alpha invented the pro rata growth strategy in 2014 with its first investment in Coupang. As industry veterans, we observed that early-stage VCs are the first investors in 80% of unicorns and tech IPOs. Yet 95% of the time they lack the capital for follow-on investments in their growth-stage winners. By filling this capital gap, Alpha is able to back the winners in sought-after growth-equity rounds.
Greater upside
for VCs.
We help our early-stage VC partners take advantage of their pro-rata rights in their best follow-on opportunities. In exchange for deal discovery and diligence help, we give them a portion of our carry, which makes being a seed investor more lucrative.
Derisked venture
investing for LPs.
By cherry picking top-tier growth-stage companies to invest in, Alpha derisks venture investing for LPs. We give our LPs access to the best opportunities that are not only the most likely to succeed, but also at a point where they are closer to an exit.
Friendly growth
capital for founders.
We make it quick and easy for founders to access growth capital, keep existing investors engaged, and reward their earliest investors for backing them when no one else did. And we will tap our network of investors and their portfolio companies on founders’ behalf.
We back winners.
What VCs are saying about us.
Driving Alpha.
