Who We Are

AlpineX applies outside thinking and capital to industries where customers have been frustrated and innovation has been sparse. In these industries, we seek to acquire businesses demonstrating high-quality revenue, durable value propositions, and a rationale for inorganic growth through M&A. As the services-focused aggregation strategy of Alpine Investors, AlpineX benefits from the experience, talent and resources of a multi-billion-dollar private equity firm, while charting our own course as investor operators. Like Alpine, we attribute our success to a PeopleFirst philosophy. We work with, learn from, and develop exceptional people to create a virtuous cycle of financial and operational wins that contribute to greater personal fulfillment.
