ALPHA PARTNERS

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... 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... Alpha invests in the best of the best growth stage venture-backed companies by partnering with over 675 early stage venture capital firms.
