CUSTOMERS

Alpha offers operational guidance, access to capital to accelerate organic growth, and the experience needed to scale software companies of all sizes.

While our businesses run independently with a core focus on the customers they serve, our ecosystem of technology companies, functional expertise and knowledge sharing networks provide limitless opportunities for collaboration and growth.

As part of the Perseus Operating Group of Constellation Software Inc. (TSX.CSU), Alpha is backed by decades of unparalleled experience acquiring, managing, and building market-leading software brands in vertical markets.

“While other purchasers of businesses seek economies of scale through centralization, we have taken the opposite approach. This enables the General Manager of the business to be empowered and remain in control of all levers necessary to guide his/her business.”

Mark Leonard | President, Constellation Software Inc.
