Alex Algard is the founder and CEO of Hiya, a mobile caller identity company, and previously founded and led Whitepages.com and Ekata, which sold to Mastercard for $850 million[1][8]. As an angel investor, he focuses on mobile, information technology, and caller ID sectors, primarily within the United Kingdom and broader Europe[3]. He has made nine documented angel investments, though his typical check size and whether he leads or follows are not publicly specified[8]. Notable portfolio companies include Hiya, Ekata, Whitepages.com, and CarDomain, all ventures he founded or chaired rather than external investments[1][8][10]. Algard is recognized as one of the industry’s earliest mobile caller identity visionaries, having launched the first Android caller ID app in 2008[7]. There is no publicly available distinctive point of view, published thesis, or public writing attributed to him as an investor beyond his entrepreneurial track record[1][3].
