Investment thesis
Alter Global backs early-stage founders in emerging tech ecosystems across Latin America, South and Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. The firm's stated purpose is to catalyze these ecosystems by supporting role-model founders who create breakout success stories. It believes success stories have a multiplier effect, drawing in more investors and inspiring teams to fund and found new companies, echoing the 'PayPal Mafia' dynamic in Silicon Valley. The firm views tech unicorns as engines of job creation and national transformation, favoring the creation of enduring companies over traditional aid.
