Biography

Angel is the co-founder of ALZA Capital Partners. He is a former Search Fund entrepreneur and one of the pioneers of the Search Fund industry in Mexico and Latin America. Angel has extensive experience in private equity, M&A and investment-related roles.

Angel Alvarez

Co-Founder & Managing Partner

"Working with ALZA has very much felt like working with an individual advisor, while maintaining the benefits of an institutional investor. They help us across the entire spectrum of the search process, from sending us leads in different industries to advising us on multiples and issues to consider based on their experience.”

Pedro and Isauro, Principals at Latitud Capital

"ALZA was a key driver of our fundraising success. Having them as investors not only opened doors in the investment community, but also provided us with a guideline in building the proper cap-table. We are looking forward to interacting with them during the search and operating phase."

Alejandro and Ernesto, Founding Partners at Hexagon Capital

'“ALZA was one of the most supportive investors during my search, acquisition, and now in the operating company as a Board member. My experience with ALZA is a good reminder of why I wanted to become a searcher-to achieve my dream of being a CEO supported by strong mentors who cared about me.”

Jean-Paul Destarac, Chief Executive Officer at Capin Vyborny

"I specifically sought out ALZA as an investor in my search fund because I valued their experience as entrepreneurs who had successfully utilized the search fund model themselves. I knew they could walk with me through the journey of entrepreneurship through acquisition and be a valuable and practical partner."

Eddy Zakes, Founder & CEO at Crosswalk Capital

"From the beginning, ALZA Capital has been an invaluable companion in my search, fully supporting me with my activities and questions and providing invaluable insights that only seasoned investors would have. I feel lucky to be partnering with them."

Toby Sacchi, Managing Partner at CS Investimenti

"It has been invaluable to have such highly collaborative and thoughtful partners. The team always provides quick and insightful  recommendations, enabling me to be more efficient in my search for a great company."

Naim Abdullah, Managing Partner at RiverRun Capital
