We boldly go to overlooked places where underdogs are hard at work. We see you building your business. We see you building your nation.

Meet Our Entrepreneurs

Every nation has a few game-changing entrepreneurs who create outsized value. We select the highest character, highest competency management teams leading the most scalable ventures.

Since 2015, we've explored 16 emerging tech cities, met with nearly 2000 entrepreneurs, and connected with local networks to select our 28 Alter Entrepreneurs - and counting. Our Alter Entrepreneurs in turn become their nation's scouts for the next generation of game-changing startups.

Scale

We connect Alter Ventures to the talent, networks, and capital they most need to scale.

Explore Alter Opportunities

Even the best entrepreneurs in emerging tech ecosystems lack access to the resources they need to scale. We match them with talent, expertise, and investments from the world's most prolific entrepreneurial ecosystems.

Network

Our ever-growing Alter Network of LPs, mentors, and advisors who also believe in the powerful potential of role-model founders in emerging tech cities around the world.

Our Team

Founded in 2015 out of Stanford GSB, Alter is led by a team with deep expertise in emerging tech cities around the world.
