Launching in 2025, Alpha Prime builds upon the success of Alpha Capital Group and Alpha Futures, marking the next phase in our commitment to excellence in proprietary trading.
Since the inception of Alpha Capital Group in 2021, we have been meticulously developing this project, and we now believe the time is right to introduce Alpha Prime. By strategically expanding the Alpha ecosystem, we have cultivated a global network of hundreds of thousands of traders actively engaged in FX, Futures, and other financial instruments.
This unparalleled access to trading data allows us to identify and select the most skilled and disciplined traders to manage our firm's live capital—ensuring a high-performance, data-driven approach to proprietary trading.
One of the greatest challenges faced by traditional prop firms has been sourcing top-tier trading talent. With Alpha Prime, we have turned this challenge into a competitive advantage, leveraging our extensive trader base to build a team of exceptional professionals.
We are excited to launch our dynamic new office in the heart of the City of London, reinforcing Alpha’s position as a leader in the proprietary trading industry. This expansion represents another significant step in strengthening the Alpha Group and shaping the future of trading.
Welcome to Alpha Prime
where talent meets opportunity.

George Kohler
CEO & Co-Founder of Alpha Capital Group
George is the CEO and Co-Founder of Alpha Capital Group, driven by a vision to redefine the proprietary trading industry. His journey into the financial markets began at 18 when he discovered his natural aptitude for trading, igniting a passion that led him to pursue banking, finance, and investments at university. Through hands-on experience in traditional finance, banking, and investment sectors, he identified a key gap—traders lacked access to a comprehensive platform that seamlessly integrated funding, cutting-edge technology, and professional development. This realization became the foundation for Alpha Capital Group and its mission to empower traders worldwide.
Determined to bridge this gap, George co-founded Alpha Capital Group, establishing a firm that would evolve into a powerful ecosystem of trading companies, including Alpha Futures, ACG Markets, Alpha Trader, and Alpha Prime. Each entity operates with the same core principles—innovation, transparency, and trader empowerment—providing elite traders with the capital, cutting-edge tools, and institutional resources needed to excel in global markets.
With a relentless commitment to trader success, George has built a group of companies that support traders at every stage of their careers, from evaluation and funding to high-level institutional trading. His leadership continues to shape the future of proprietary trading, offering traders the opportunities, infrastructure, and support they need to thrive.

Drew’s been in the financial services sector for nearly two decades. Fresh out of college, he went straight into a number of institutions. His experience led to launching his own brokerage, a venture that remains successful to this day.
In 2018, George Kohler approached Drew with the idea of establishing Alpha Capital Group, a firm with core values absent in the prop trading industry. The idea was simple: a firm that prioritised rapid customer support and valued approachability in an impersonal, automated industry.
As a pillar of Alpha Capital’s customer-first philosophy, Drew has played a pivotal role in shaping the business’s backend operations to remove commission fees and reward traders for their hard work—a rare stance in an industry aimed at boosting firm profits.
Drew continues to ensure the operations within Alpha Capital align with the firm’s values of transparency, support, and a trader-first mentality so that Alpha continues to remain at the forefront of prop firm innovation.
