We believe that capital, by itself, does not differentiate. Our proven track record, experience and guiding philosophies form the foundation for what we do, and our strong adherence to these philosophies sets us apart.

• Values.
  We strive to be people with high values. To us, this means being honest, fair, friendly, hard-working, gracious, and trustworthy, no matter the circumstance.
• Leadership.
  It takes discipline, commitment, trust and sacrifice to lead and make transforming change. Leadership is a life-long mission that is passionately exercised every day.
• Patience.
  The ability to be patient is a huge advantage in life, particularly in investing and building businesses. We believe a patient, long-term perspective ensures sound decision making, provides greater flexibility during our ownership, and ultimately maximizes outcomes.
• Business-Building.
  We believe that our unwavering focus on helping businesses improve and grow will allow us to be successful over the long-term. Our returns will be driven largely by our success as business-builders, rather than through financial engineering or market timing.
• Partnership and Teamwork.
  People are so often identified by those with whom they partner. We seek partnerships with people of like values and principles. Our experience shows us that good teams build lasting progress.
• Stewardship.
  Most private equity managers aspire to generate “top quartile returns”, but few talk about the risks required to generate those returns. We aim to be responsible stewards of our investors’ capital, focusing as earnestly on minimizing risk as on maximizing return.
• Alignment.
  We formed AlpRidge Capital because we believe the interests of entrepreneurs, managers, and investors have diverged in the private equity asset class. As business builders, our partnership structure creates strong alignment among entrepreneur, manager, and investor.
