We are a venture builder that creates venture studios and advantaged startups with leading corporations.
The world sees disruptors and incumbents as adversaries. We see an advantage. We meld large corporations, entrepreneurs, and venture investing in order to forge a future where entrepreneurs and corporations win together.
This is why we exist.
Our Story
Large corporations are extremely well managed, yet are unintentionally exposed for disruption. In our era of AI and decentralization, small teams in the form of startups can quickly and dramatically drive impact. Corporations need new ways of engaging with startups to learn and, ultimately, grow.
That’s why Alloy Partners was created.
Our founding team was originally born out of High Alpha, where we helped launch the venture studio model—a new way to build startups. Together, we built the first venture studio playbook that successfully created 40+ startups and raised more than $350M across four funds.
Soon, corporations began to approach us. They wanted to tap into the same model and find their own path to real, disruptive innovation. With years of experience working closely with renowned author Clayton Christensen, we recognized that this venture studio strategy could help organizations overcome the very barriers that hold them back in the Innovator's Dilemma.
In 2020, we officially created High Alpha Innovation (now Alloy Partners), as a standalone venture builder focused on co-creating startups and venture studios with corporations to drive tangible growth. Since then, we’ve launched more than 30 companies and six venture studios with partners across the globe.
We exist to help corporations overcome an illusion of innovation: activity that feels like it should produce positive change but actually leads to value destruction, not progress.
We uniquely understand the power of large corporations and the tenacity of entrepreneurs. We successfully combine them to create advantaged companies and win together.
