Hear what our VCs are saying.
Alpha provides an attractive incentive to continue sharing our top deals and streamlines the investment process. Without Alpha’s collaboration, Crosscut would have needed to set up a separate SPV, taking considerably more time and effort.
We have collaborated with Alpha on Second Front two times. Their flexibility and efficiency were key to closing both deals quickly.
We’ve been excited about Rad AI since day one, were delighted to be able to invest more into the company through our partnership with Alpha, and look forward to more collaborations in the future.
Alpha has identified a market gap for exercising pro rata rights and provides a great solution.
