“Ali’s entrepreneurial spirit and his belief that businesses help transform people’s lives are the inspiration behind Biafo Capital.”

Growing up in Pakistan, Ali Mirza’s passion for entrepreneurship started at an early age thanks to his parents who founded and operated multiple small businesses during their careers. Whether it was his parents’ oilfield services business or their travel agency, Ali was always involved and learning about the importance of compassion and hard-work. While he was in high-school, Ali helped his parents create marketing and sales collateral for their oilfield services businesses and was routinely present as a silent yet curious observer in sales pitches and client meetings. Subsequently, to help fund his own college education, Ali founded an academic counseling venture that provided tutoring and counseling services to underserved youth at an affordable cost.

Ali’s entrepreneurial spirit and his belief that businesses help transform people’s lives are the inspiration behind Biafo Capital. Ali aims to leverage his compassionate style of leadership and his willingness to roll up his sleeves and get the job done to acquire and grow a proven and successful business.

Ali has more than a decade of operational and product leadership experience in the hospitality, veterinary services, higher-education, and high-tech industries in strategy, technology management, product management, supply chain and sales - all necessary skills required to successfully acquire and grow a proven business and create enduring value for all stakeholders including selling owners, customers, employees and local communities.

Ali graduated from the UCLA Anderson School of Management with an MBA in Finance and Entrepreneurship and from the National University of Sciences and Technology with a degree in Engineering. Outside of work, Ali enjoys spending time with his wonderful wife, Faria, and their son, Hadi, in beautiful Southern California. He enjoys playing soccer, playing basketball, and exploring the great outdoors in his free time.
