Description

Alignment Capital Group (ACG) is a private equity consulting firm based in Austin, Texas. It was founded in 2000 by Austin M. Long, III, who continues to lead the firm today, and Craig J.

The firm s advisory approach is a balance between quantitative analysis and qualitative knowledge and experience. ...
