Value Alpha

Value Alpha is an AI-native acquisition assistant and business valuation platform built for private markets, with a focus on the lower middle market. According to its official website, the platform prices any private company by blending the institutional methods a buy-side analyst would run — discounted cash flow, comparable companies, precedent transactions, an asset floor, and bottom-up unit economics — calibrated to the user's sector and NAICS code. It is positioned for SMB owners, ETA (entrepreneurship through acquisition) searchers, and advisors who need a defensible number without the cost or six-week wait of a traditional valuation firm. The core workflow is designed to be fast and transparent. Users upload their financial statements and receive a defensible valuation range in under 10 minutes, with every assumption visible and a PDF report that can be handed to a buyer, lender, or investor. The company states that its platform runs 29 valuation methods across 43 industries with sector-specific analysis, including DCF, comparable companies, precedent transactions, asset floor, scenario analysis, Monte Carlo simulation, and sector-specific models such as a Biotech SOTP and a MedTech Market Model. Every figure is described as sourced and traced to the document it came from. Reports include an executive summary, methodology breakdown, scenario analysis, and a full financial appendix delivered as a PDF memorandum, with an editable Excel model available on the Pro and Team plans. Value Alpha was founded by Tomasz Felpel, described as a Columbia Executive MBA graduate with corporate-development experience at Fortune 500 companies, including work connected to the $26.2 billion DuPont-IFF combination. The company frames its mission around closing an information gap: sophisticated buyers have historically had better information than the owners who built the businesses being acquired. Value Alpha aims to put institutional valuation methods, private-market intelligence, and company-specific analysis on the owner's side of the table. Its stated principles include that value must be explainable, that owners deserve institutional standards, that a valuation should lead to action, that technology should increase judgment rather than replace it, and that honesty beats false precision because private companies are valued in ranges rather than single numbers. The platform is also described as an all-in-one deal platform intended to run the whole deal, not just the valuation step. It targets businesses with roughly $1 million to $250 million in revenue. Value Alpha is a private company and does not appear to be publicly listed. Its website is valuealpha.ai.

Value Alpha was founded by Tomasz Felpel, who is described by the company as a Columbia Executive MBA graduate with corporate-development experience at Fortune 500 companies, including work connected to the $26.2 billion DuPont-IFF combination. The company's public materials frame its origin around a perceived asymmetry in private-market transactions: institutional buyers bring teams of analysts, sophisticated models, live market and deal data, scenario analysis, and experienced advisors, while owners and smaller participants often arrive with fragmented spreadsheets, a broad industry multiple, a number nobody independent has checked, no scenario analysis, and no defensible audit trail. Value Alpha's stated purpose is to close that gap by putting institutional valuation methods, private-market intelligence, and company-specific analysis on the owner's side of the table. The company describes itself as an AI-native acquisition assistant firm for private businesses. Its principles are that value must be explainable, that owners deserve institutional standards, that a valuation should lead to action, that technology should increase judgment rather than replace it, and that honesty beats false precision because private companies are valued in ranges rather than single numbers. The platform has been presented publicly as covering 29 valuation methods across 43 industries, with sector-specific analysis and models such as Biotech SOTP and MedTech Market Model. It is built for private companies with roughly $1 million to $250 million in revenue. The company has been featured in outlets and programs including My Company Polska, Columbia Business School, and "AI: The Future of Finance," according to its About page. The exact founding date and headquarters location are not specified in the available evidence.
