Early-stage capital with founder experience
As founders and early-stage investors, we know the journey from idea to market leader from the inside. This path is filled with challenges, and we've been there ourselves. That's why we don't just invest capital. We work hands-on with startups to guide them through the critical early phases where most companies stumble.
We support entrepreneurs with capital, operational experience, and strategic guidance. Our focus is on early-stage investments in energy, automation, dual-use technologies, and digitalization. From setting up legal structures to refining go-to-market strategy, we think and work alongside founders to build the foundation for sustainable growth.
Our name is inspired by Tenzing Norgay, the Sherpa who guided Sir Edmund Hillary to the summit of Mount Everest in 1953. Like Tenzing, we don't just point the way. We climb alongside founders through the difficult terrain of building and scaling a startup.
The "Alpha" in our name reflects our approach to returns. We generate outperformance through hands-on support and disciplined portfolio management. This means actively working with our companies to create value, and making tough decisions when needed. Our goal is to deliver returns that come from operational improvement, not just market timing.
