Altarence is a Venture builder and an early stage Investor working with you from the very start in focused selected Business domains

Investments are indeed made in start-ups or spin-offs at very early stage. Altarence helps setting up the initial frame and develops the ventures with founders all the way up until enough Value is created, allowing then succesfully reaching out to VC Funds for further growth

Minority shareholding is usually foreseen

Altarence thus provides seed financing and operational support at the very start, when operational risk is high, when we find your project has high potential but still needs to be matured, in a nutshell when access to VC funding is not yet feasible (your “Valley of Death”) or not advisable (sub optimal valuation)

We will exit when you feel comfortable on your own, when substancial capital has been further injected by Investment Funds and your Team is fully structured, including Leadership. Time to exit can thus vary from case to case and project maturity.
