A Alpha Ventures Get in touch
Alpha Ventures LLC

We buy one great business — and run it ourselves.

Alpha Ventures is a private acquisition firm led by two operators. We're looking to acquire and personally run a single, well-built small business — keeping the team, the name, and the relationships intact.

No obligation. Every conversation is fully confidential.

Our approach

A different kind of buyer

We're not a broker, a fund, or a private-equity firm. We're two operators looking for one business to own and run for the long haul.

Operators, not brokers

We're not flipping or reselling. We take over the day-to-day and run the business for the long term.

Your team stays

We're buying because the business already works. We keep the people who made it work.

No private-equity playbook

No piling on debt, no quick exit, no gutting what you spent years building.

Respectful & confidential

A low-pressure conversation on your timeline. Nothing is shared, ever.

What we look for

The kind of business we'd be proud to run

We focus on businesses with roughly $500K–$3M in annual owner earnings (SDE / EBITDA) — established enough to support a team and a manager, but not so large it loses the personal, owner-run character that made it work.
  • Established — typically 10+ years — profitable, with a steady team.
  • Recurring or repeat revenue and loyal, long-standing customers.
  • An owner thinking about stepping back who wants what they built to last. You spent years — maybe decades — building something real. We're here to carry that legacy forward, not strip it for parts: the name stays, the people stay, and the work outlives the handoff.
  • Most industries considered — a durable, well-run business matters to us far more than the sector.
Who we are
