Alex Walsh

Alex Walsh is a private-equity investor based in the Greater Phoenix area whose career centers on the lower middle market — management buyouts, partner buyouts, and independent-sponsor transactions. He studied at DePauw University (1999–2003), earning a degree in Economics and Management, and was a three-time Academic All-American on the university's golf team. Before moving into institutional roles, he spent roughly 15 years as an independent consultant to public and private companies, focused on capital formation, management buyouts, M&A, and corporate-finance strategy.

He served as Director, Mergers & Acquisitions Advisory at Eventus Advisory Group, a Scottsdale, Arizona business-advisory and fractional-CFO firm (the source of the [hidden] address). He subsequently was a Partner at B2 Partners, a Scottsdale-based growth/lower-middle-market private-equity firm, where he led deal origination, diligence, and execution for a strategy investing approximately $3–7M of equity to support partner and management buyouts.

He is currently Managing Director, Private Equity at Kingsbarn (Kingsbarn Capital Management / Kingsbarn Realty Capital), a real-estate-centric investment house headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada with offices across the West and beyond (including Phoenix). On the Kingsbarn private-equity team he helps run the firm's independent-sponsor and lower-middle-market buyout strategy, which targets ownership transitions among baby-boomer-owned businesses (a thesis Kingsbarn brands the "Silver Tsunami").

Outside of investing, Walsh has been a long-time member of Tempe Diablos Charities (since 2008) and served on the Board of Trustees of the Phoenix Boys Choir (2019–2023), reflecting deep roots in the Phoenix-area civic community.

• Invests in lower-middle-market buyouts led by management teams and independent sponsors, providing the equity needed to close acquisitions and ownership transitions.
• Target companies: generally under ~$5M EBITDA, where lower entry multiples create room for value creation through EBITDA growth and multiple expansion.
• Check sizes in the ~$3–7M equity range (the B2 Partners strategy he led); at Kingsbarn, often supplying the "final tranche of capital needed to satisfy selling owners' requirements."
• Macro thesis ("Silver Tsunami"): baby boomers own more than half of U.S. privately held businesses, with hundreds changing hands or closing daily — a sustained pipeline of buyout and succession opportunities.
• Generalist by sector, with executed deals in manufacturing/industrials and healthcare services.
• In his own words on a portfolio deal: *"We are excited to partner with Nicholas White and his team to support OMS going forward as they execute some very exciting opportunities."*
