Investment Thesis

High Alpha operates on a dual model combining venture capital investment with active company building through their Studio. Their philosophy centers on the belief that operating experience makes better investors, and investing experience makes better operators. They partner deeply with founders throughout the entire company lifecycle—from exploration and validation through scaling and exit—providing not just capital but embedded resources, expertise, and strategic guidance to help companies reach their full potential.

What Sets Them Apart

  • Dual operating model: Both a venture capital firm AND a venture studio that co-creates companies from scratch
  • Company building expertise: Founders, investors, and operators rolled into one team with proven track record of building billion-dollar companies (ExactTarget acquisition by Salesforce)
  • Embedded resources: Provide dedicated design, product, marketing, go-to-market, finance, legal, and HR resources beyond just capital
  • Three distinct investment types: Anchor (lead investor), Co-Invest, and Studio (proprietary opportunities)
  • Strong community and programming: Year-round events, Flight Schools, networking through Navigators Network, university partnerships, and corporate partnerships
  • 40+ companies founded/funded with 100+ founders backed and 900+ jobs created since 2015
  • Geographic diversity: Companies founded coast-to-coast across North America
