Alpine 4 is a publicly held enterprise with four principles at the core of
its business: Synergy, Innovation, Drive, and Excellence (S.I.D.E.). At Alpine
4, we believe synergistic innovation drives excellence. By anchoring these words
to our combined experience and capabilities, we are able to aggressively pursue
opportunities within and across vertical markets. We deliver solutions that
not only drive industry standards, but also increase value for our shareholders.
At Alpine 4, we understand the nature of how technology and innovation can
accentuate a business. We strive to develop strategic synergies between our
holdings to create value and operational excellence within a unique long-term
perspective.
Our Strategy
Alpine 4s strategy is to provide Fortune 500-level execution strategies in
its subsidiary companies and market segments to businesses and companies that
have the most to benefit from this access.
Alpine 4 feels this opportunity exists in smaller middle market operating companies
with revenues between $5 to $150 million. In this target rich environment, businesses
generally sell at more reasonable multiples, presenting greater opportunities
for operational and strategic improvements and have greater potential for growth.
Implementation of our strategy within our holdings is accomplished by the offering
of strategic and tactical MBA-level training and development, delivered via
the following modules:
Alpine 4 Mini MBA program; and
An Alpine 4 developed ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning system) and collaboration
system called SPECTRUMebos. SPECTRUMebos is what we are defining as an Enterprise
Business Operating System (ebos). This system will combine the key technology
software components of Accounting and Financial Reporting, an Enterprise Resource
Planning System (ERP), a Document Management System (DMS), a Business Intelligence
(BI) platform and a Customer Resource Management (CRM) hub which will be tethered
to management reporting and collaboration toolsets. Management believes that
these tools will help drive real-time information in two directions: first,
to the front lines by empowering customer-facing stakeholders; and second, back
to management for planning, problem solving, and integration. Management believes
that SPECTRUMebos will be the technology "secret sauce" in managing
our portfolio of companies and, in time, may be offered to external customers.
All great strategies must have trades offs. Therefore, Alpine 4 avoids companies
that have unionized employees, businesses that have more than $150 million in
revenue and companies that reside in highly regulated business industries.
It is our goal to help drive Alpine 4 into a leading multi-faceted holding
company with diverse products and services that not only benefit from one another
as whole but also have the benefit of independence. This type of corporate structure
is about having our subsidiaries prosper through strong onsite leadership, while
working synergistically with other Alpine 4 holdings. Alpine 4 has been set
up with a holding company model, with Presidents who will run each business,
and Managers with specific industry related experience who, along with Kent
Wilson, the CEO of Alpine 4, will help guide our portfolio of companies as needed.
Alpine 4 will work with our Presidents and Managers to ensure that our motto
of S.I.D.E (Synergistic, Innovation, Drives, Excellence) is utilized. Further,
we plan to work with our subsidiaries and capital partners to provide the proper
capital allocation and, to work to make sure each business is executing at high
levels.
