Welcome to Alyeska International, Inc. (AI). Join with other accredited investors in the first “Qualified Small Business” formed in the state of Alaska.
Alyeska International, Inc. was formed from the first private equity Search Fund in Alaska named Alaska Search Partners, LLC. AI’s focus is finding, buying, growing, and retaining companies headquartered in Alaska. AI targets companies with consistent cash flow and upside market opportunity. The firm prefers to invest in companies with revenues between $5 million and $40 million.
AI’s first acquisition was the Alaska Sleep Clinic, the largest and most comprehensive multi-site sleep lab in Alaska. It has four locations in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Wasilla, and Soldotna. In the second year of operation, AI will double Alaska Sleep Clinic’s volume.
The leaders of Alyeska International, Inc. have over 50 years of combined experience in starting services lines, growing companies as well as mergers and acquisitions.
In the short term: Alyeska International, Inc. is accepting a limited number of investors. We are also looking for a few more acquisition investors (both individual and institutional) to participate in the financing package.
In the medium term: We are concurrently identifying criteria appropriate companies, performing due diligence, and making selections for acquisition. We will lead the acquired company(s) to desired growth and IRR. We expect to start the next search fund in the later half of 2015.
In the long term: We expect to create serial search funds, serial acquisitions, and serial successful growth companies. We plan to create a network of investors (individual, institutional, and ANC) committed to the search fund model as an investment alternative in Alaska.
By design, target companies are stable, have consistent cash flow, and unmet market expansion opportunity. This is the typical growth pattern and plateauing of small companies. Placing high caliber, strongly motivated managers who have a leadership skill set for larger organizations into such an environment captures unmet opportunity. The results are (a) an attractive risk-adjusted IRR, (b) development of a management infrastructure which creates a self-sustaining organization, and (c) Alaska will develop a stronger, more robust, medium sized business community capable of competing more effectively throughout Alaska, the lower 48, and internationally.
