One of the best pieces of advice ever offered to Jack Bloom, Founder and President of the Alpha Capital Holdings Corporation, is the old adage, 'Those who lie with dogs, wake up with fleas.' Although the application of the popular saying may not immediately be apparent in a financial context it lies, reveals Jack Bloom, at the very heart of Alpha Capital's philosophy.
Alpha Capital has carved itself a niche in the sector of growth financing both private and public small to medium-sized companies and technologies. To this end, Founder and President, Jack Bloom and Alpha Capital employ a two-point criterion for selecting those companies it wishes to finance. The first of these is the 'character' of the company – and this is where the point of the adage is explained. Alpha Capital strongly believes that the good character of any company will necessarily embrace a defined ethical and moral core at the center of any business worth its salt. Simply put, if that quality is lacking then Jack Bloom would prefer to have nothing to do with the business – despite it having a potentially lucrative future. The second criterion is that there has to be something extraordinary about the company, something that truly defines it from its competitors. A good illustration, discloses Jack Bloom, would be a restaurant that regularly has lines of people patiently waiting to gain entrance. Or a bio-tech company that continually demonstrates excellence in its clinical trials. Indeed, Alpha Capital refuses to be pigeon-holed to one specific industry sector.
