We are a venture builder that creates advantaged startups with leading corporations.
The world sees disruptors and incumbents as adversaries. We bring these worlds together by melding large corporations, entrepreneurs, and venture investing. We are forging 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, the creator of the venture studio — a pioneering approach to startup creation. We developed the first venture studio playbook that successfully created 40+ startups and raised more than $350M across four funds.
Corporations started coming to us to adopt this model, and we saw an opportunity to reinvent the way corporations drive disruptive innovation, which we now call venture building. Combined with our team’s background working for many years with renowned author and teacher Clayton Christensen, we saw the opportunity for this approach to be a corporation’s best shot at overcoming the Innovator’s Dilemma.
In 2020, we officially spun out High Alpha Innovation (now Alloy Partners), as a standalone venture builder that would co-create startups with corporations to drive tangible growth and transformation. To date, 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.
