High Alpha is a venture studio and capital fund that conceives, launches, and scales next-generation B2B SaaS companies. Founded in 2015 by experienced operators Scott Dorsey, Eric Tobias, Kristian Andersen, and Mike Fitzgerald, the firm pioneered a model that unites company building with venture capital — operating makes them better investors, and investing makes them better operators. High Alpha Capital pursues three investment types: Anchor (leading Seed to Series A financings), Co-Invest (participating alongside trusted lead investors in Seed, Series A, and Series B rounds), and Studio (investing in proprietary companies launched from High Alpha Studio). The firm focuses on enterprise software companies across North America, with particular interest in artificial intelligence, 'fresh tech' disrupting legacy SaaS incumbents, and non-incremental innovation. High Alpha brings entrepreneurial empathy and an operator's mindset to every portfolio company, providing not just capital but also hands-on support across SaaS finance, HR, design, marketing, and engineering.
