Alex Shortle

Overview

An experienced angel investor and partner at EO Advisors, focusing on healthcare and technology sectors. Alex has spent the bulk of his career supporting growth-stage and lower-middle-market companies through various inflection points of the corporate lifecycle. This has included both advisory and operating roles at companies across multiple industry verticals. He began his career in New York, structuring large leveraged acquisitions at HSBC Securities, and slowly worked his way into the middle and lower-middle markets executing M&A advisory, private placement, and turnaround engagements. Looking to get further upstream, Alex helped start the venture capital firm Meridian Street Capital, investing in healthcare technology startups across the US. Immediately prior to co-founding EO Advisors, Alex worked in middle-market and lower-middle market M&A, advising technology companies across the Midwest. Alex resides in Zionsville, Indiana with his wife Annie and their three children, Caroline, George, and Margaret. While Alex dedicates most of his time away from the office to his family, he occasionally finds time to sneak away to the mountains to ski, and when the Indiana weather cooperates, spend evenings with his dog and his garden. Alex holds a B.A. from Indiana University and has been recognized for his contributions to the investment community, particularly in the healthcare and technology sectors. His strategic insights and hands-on approach have made him a valuable partner for entrepreneurs seeking to navigate the complexities of scaling their businesses.
