We are a private equity firm focusing on small to mid-sized founder and family-owned or closely held businesses poised for growth. AEP’s Principals have decades of collective experience investing in the lower middle market, with a strong focus on supporting the existing management team’s vision for growth, all while maintaining a strong alignment of interests towards future upside potential.
 Alterna Equity Partners differentiates ourselves with our strong partnership focus,
commitment to economic alignment post-investment, value-added approach to supporting the team’s clear visions for growth, and significant experience investing in the small to mid-sized business segment.

We are an equity investor focused on majority acquisitions while selectively considering non-control investments. Alterna invests in stable, established companies and back strong management teams that are poised for growth.
Our differentiated strategy is centered on the long-standing focus on
founder or family-owned mid-size businesses (typically from $15-150 million in enterprise value) and a deep understanding and appreciation of the unique challenges and opportunities such businesses present. We approach our transactions with a flexible investment structuring while putting priority on speed and responsiveness.
The firm partners with talented and experienced founders and
management teams to accelerate growth and transformation, with the goal of acting as a partner rather than a financial counterparty.
