SecLevelAlpha today announced its official launch as a holdings company focused on building and nurturing technology companies with transformative potential. Founded by a team of tech industry veterans led by Tyler Hill, the company has established its headquarters in Long Beach, California, positioning itself within Southern California's expanding Silicon Beach ecosystem.
Initial Portfolio
The company debuts with two initial ventures already under development:
TacticDev: An enterprise security software provider focused on developing advanced monitoring and threat detection solutions for mid-sized organizations. TacticDev's platform uses machine learning to identify potential security breaches before they occur.
BlueprintDynamics: A sustainable infrastructure technology company developing IoT-based monitoring systems for buildings and civil infrastructure. The company's low-cost sensor networks provide real-time data on structural integrity and environmental conditions.
"We're building companies that address critical challenges in security and sustainability," said Tyler Hill, CEO of SecLevelAlpha. "Our approach combines technical innovation with practical business models that can scale effectively."
Strategic Vision
SecLevelAlpha's business model differs from traditional venture capital firms or incubators. Rather than simply investing in existing startups, the company builds ventures from the ground up, providing not just funding but also technical expertise, operational support, and strategic guidance.
The company plans to develop 3-5 portfolio companies over the next three years, focusing on areas where technology can address significant business and societal challenges.
"We believe the most successful technology companies of the next decade will be those that combine innovation with responsibility. Our portfolio companies are built on the principle that long-term success requires both technical excellence and positive impact."
Long Beach Headquarters
The decision to establish headquarters in Long Beach reflects the company's strategic vision and values.
"Long Beach offers the perfect combination of tech ecosystem growth, quality of life, and community," explained Hill. "We're excited to be part of the city's emerging technology scene and contribute to its development as a hub for innovation."
The company has leased office space in downtown Long Beach and plans to grow its team to 15-20 employees by the end of the year, with additional growth coming from its portfolio companies.
Looking Ahead
SecLevelAlpha is currently developing its third portfolio company, which will focus on applied artificial intelligence solutions for small and medium businesses. The company expects to announce details of this venture in Q3 2025.
"We're just getting started," said Hill. "Our goal is to build a family of companies that not only succeed commercially but also advance the state of the art in their respective fields."
