5 Reasons GPs Are Leaving Legacy LP Databases for Altss

In the 2025 fundraising arena, speed isn’t optional—it’s survival. IR teams and fund managers need to know who is allocating, when, and how—before the rest of the market catches on.

Legacy platforms like PitchBook, Preqin, FINTRX, and Dakota weren’t built for this pace. They deliver static data, partial views, or slow manual workflows. Altss is different: real-time LP signals, OSINT data pipelines, and intelligent filters designed specifically for fundraisers—not spreadsheet jockeys.

Here are five reasons modern teams are switching to Altss.

1. Live OSINT-Powered Data, Updated Automatically

Why It Matters:
Fundraising decisions happen fast. Outdated LP profiles mean you’re showing up late—or not at all.

How Altss Wins:

• Altss delivers real-time OSINT on 6,000+ LPs—tracking allocator moves, fund signals, and mandate changes the moment they occur.
• Profiles update continuously—not monthly or quarterly.
• Filters for geography, mandate, AUM range, check size, strategy, and activity window—built for outreach, not research.

What Others Do:

• Preqin & PitchBook: Lagging quarterly updates and no allocator intent tracking.
• FINTRX & Dakota: Rely on manual data entry by internal teams, updating no more than ~50 profiles per day—leaving large gaps for fast-moving firms.

→ Altss gives you fresh data daily, not batch uploads weeks behind the market.

2. Allocation Signals You Won’t Find Anywhere Else

Why It Matters:
By the time an LP is public about a fund commitment, it’s already done. The real edge is knowing who’s warming up—not who’s done deploying.

How Altss Wins:

• Allocation signals pulled from OSINT sources like job boards, team expansion, allocator quotes, mandate shifts, and thematic news.
• Smart tracking: “Show U.S. family offices exploring AI and energy tech funds since March.”
• Alerts when an LP changes vertical focus, hires new decision-makers, or signals first-time GP interest.

What Others Do:

• PitchBook & Preqin: Offer backward-looking deal data—no allocator modeling.
• FINTRX & Dakota: No forward-looking signal detection, relying on reactive data input.

→ Altss tracks intent—not just history.

3. Q4 2025: Relationship Graphs for Warm Path Discovery

Why It Matters:
You don’t raise from a spreadsheet—you raise through relationships. But most tools offer contact lists, not context.

How Altss Will Win (Q4):

• Live relationship graph linking LPs, GPs, co-investments, advisory roles, and firm networks.
• Discovery of indirect paths: “Which LPs co-invest with the ones I already know?”
• Strength scoring for each relationship path, to prioritize warm over cold outreach.

What Others Do:

• PitchBook: Maps some co-investment activity but lacks social context.
• Preqin, FINTRX, Dakota: No relationship graph functionality at all.

→ Altss will offer true network intelligence—launching in Q4 2025.

4. No Exports. No CRM Pain. Just Fast Fundraising

Why It Matters:
Exporting CSVs, syncing CRMs, and piecing together outreach is inefficient and risky. You need tools that work at the speed of the raise.

How Altss Wins:

• Ask in plain English: “Show LPs with <$2B AUM who backed a first-time manager in 2024.”
• See everything—mandates, tickets, bios, allocation history, contact data—on one screen.
• No CRM needed. Tag, filter, and sort your outreach strategy directly inside Altss.

What Others Do:

• Preqin: Requires heavy dashboarding and Excel manipulation.
• PitchBook: Great for research teams, not lean GPs.
• FINTRX & Dakota: Built around CRM syncs—not usable out-of-the-box for fast targeting.

→ Altss removes the friction between data and action.

5. Transparent Pricing. Purpose-Built for GPs.

Why It Matters:
Many platforms were built for institutions, analysts, or sales teams. Altss is built for GPs, independent sponsors, and IR pros raising real funds—on real timelines.

How Altss Wins:

• Built-in filters for emerging manager targeting: first-time funders, <$10M average check, GP commit preferences, and direct investment history.
• Clean, flat pricing: $15,500/year.
• Designed for lean teams doing the work—not buying subscriptions for vanity.

What Others Do:

• PitchBook & Preqin: Expensive, bloated, and focused on institutional researchers.
• FINTRX & Dakota: Higher price points, manual data bottlenecks, and no intelligence layer.

→ Altss gives you what you need—and nothing you don’t.
