Alter Venture Partners

Alter Global is an early-stage venture capital firm focused on investing in emerging markets, specifically Latin America, South and Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Their mission is to catalyze emerging tech ecosystems by backing future success stories led by role-model founders. They believe in the power of tech unicorns to create millions of jobs and transform nations. They are looking for high-character, high-competency management teams leading scalable ventures in overlooked places. Since 2015, they've built a network of tech founders in emerging markets, having explored 16 emerging tech cities and met with nearly 2000 entrepreneurs. Their investment strategy revolves around finding and scaling the most promising startups in these regions. They connect their portfolio companies with talent, networks, and capital to help them grow. They actively scout for game-changing entrepreneurs who can create outsized value. Alter Global's entrepreneurs then become scouts for the next generation of startups in their respective nations, creating a powerful ecosystem. Alter believes that success stories catalyze tech ecosystems by attracting more investors and spawning new ventures, similar to the "PayPal Mafia" in Silicon Valley. They differentiate themselves from traditional aid by focusing on building tech unicorns that can drive economic growth. By fostering these ecosystems, they aim to empower entrepreneurs from all backgrounds and regions, creating lasting solutions to global poverty. They emphasize the importance of creating millions of jobs so that mothers and fathers can provide for their basic needs. They publish insights and articles on Medium, focusing on topics like SME finance tech, crypto opportunities, AgTech, female health and wellness, revenue-based financing, wealthtech, and B2B e-commerce in emerging markets. These articles showcase their expertise and highlight the potential of various sectors in the regions they invest. Overall, Alter Global is driven by a higher purpose: to use entrepreneurship to create value where it's needed most, focusing on compassion and real results.
