Investment Thesis

Alpha Vertex operates as a hybrid venture capital and venture builder firm that prioritizes de-risking early-stage investments by investing internally first before involving third-party investors. They believe in ‘shared success’—achieving alignment between entrepreneurs and investors through co-investment and risk-sharing models. Their approach emphasizes transforming ideas into ‘unicornable startups’ through hands-on support, experienced teams, and comprehensive in-house capabilities rather than traditional passive investment.
