Alpha Capital Partners: Investing in Growth and Success
Alpha Capital Partners, Ltd., a principal investment firm founded in 1984 by Mr. Andrew H. Kalnow, specializes in private equity financings for buyouts and recapitalizations of established companies, as well as growth stage venture investments. Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, the firm has additional offices in Ann Arbor, Michigan; Dayton, Ohio; and Columbus, Ohio. According to their LinkedIn profile, Alpha Capital Partners focuses primarily on private companies based in the greater Midwest region of the United States, but is also open to making investments on a nationwide basis.
The firm's mandate is to support promising young companies with a commercially developed product in need of financing, primarily for marketing and business expansion purposes. To that end, Alpha Capital Partners does not invest in start-up or early-stage enterprises, except where proceeds are used for acquisition purposes. Their investments are typically geared towards companies generating revenues between $7.5 million and $75 million for private equity financing and current run rate revenues of at least $5 million for growth stage venture investments.
Alpha Capital Partners' preference is to invest between $750,000 and $5 million in an enterprise, acting as a lead investor or an active participant in multi-investor financings between $2 million and $15 million. The firm is also capable of arranging co-investment capital, including capital from its limited partner group. Investments are generally made in the form of preferred stock or subordinated debt with associated equity, and the firm prefers to exit its investment within a timeframe of two years to seven years.
Operating in the specialized industries of Venture Capital and Private Equity Principals, Alpha Capital Partners has built a reputation for identifying and nurturing promising businesses in the greater Midwest region and beyond. With a focus on growth stage ventures and established companies undergoing buyouts or recapitalizations, the firm has played a significant role in fostering business success across a variety of industries over the past three decades.
