About MenloAlpha
Founded in Menlo Park, MenloAlpha serves the people who power Silicon Valley — tech employees managing equity compensation, founders navigating liquidity events, and international investors accessing U.S. markets. We combine local expertise with a fiduciary-first approach to wealth management.
Menlo
Menlo Park — the heart of Silicon Valley. Home to Sand Hill Road's legendary venture capital corridor, steps from Stanford, surrounded by Apple, Meta, and Google.
We're rooted here by design. This is where technology meets capital — the starting point from which we serve our clients.

Alpha
In finance, Alpha (α) represents excess return — the portion of your gains above and beyond the market benchmark. It's not luck. It's skill.
This is our promise to every client: not just to keep pace with the market, but to generate real, measurable outperformance.

Rooted in Silicon Valley. Driven by the relentless pursuit of excess returns.
Our Team
A Silicon Valley advisory team built to serve the tech community — from Big Tech engineers to first-time founders to cross-border international investors.
Our team brings a rare combination of finance and technology expertise — investment strategists focused on rigorous analysis and institutional-grade operations.
In finance, team members served as investment banking analysts in New York and Hong Kong, building systematic experience in capital markets analysis and deal execution.
In technology, the team managed portfolios of up to $4 billion and led go-to-market strategy and quantitative analysis for multi-billion-dollar product lines.
This dual background gives our team the valuation rigor of an investment banker and the industry insight of a tech insider — a unique edge in tech stock research and selection.
