Alignify Capital

Alignify Capital, was founded to bridge the gap between early-stage vision and institutional discipline. As former operators and investors, we’ve seen too many founders stumble through capital raises without the right guidance. We created our firm to address this.

Our team provides capital advisory, and secondaries support to startups serious about scale. We help founders prepare for late-stage investment, navigate secondary offerings, and articulate their financial narrative to the right investors at the right time.

With venture capital acting more like private equity, we’re a strategic ally for both founders and funds. Whether you're a startup preparing for your next raise or a growth-stage company seeking smart secondaries, our expertise ensures you’re positioned to win.

Private equity is evolving—we're evolving with it. We are collaborators, innovators, and strategic thinkers in equal measure.
