TL;DR — Altss vs Preqin vs Dakota for Emerging Managers
Six dimensions separate these three platforms for GPs raising in the current environment:
Family office depth and refresh cadence. Altss covers 9,000+ verified family offices globally on a ≤30-day refresh cycle — including MENA, LatAm, and APAC offices that Preqin and Dakota under-index. Preqin's family office universe is smaller and skewed institutional. Dakota's FO coverage is thinnest of the three. For coverage comparison, see Best Family Office Databases for 2025.
Mandate-timing signals vs static profiles. Altss surfaces personnel moves, vehicle activity, event attendance, and regulatory filings in real time through OSINT methodology. Preqin provides historical commitment data on a survey-driven cycle. Dakota provides clean dialer lists. Only one tells you why now. See the OSINT Intelligence Framework for methodology.
Contact verification and deliverability. Altss bounce-tests every contact at least monthly, maintaining 99.7%+ deliverability. Legacy databases ship stale or generic addresses that degrade sender reputation. The Contact Decay Detection taxonomy explains why this gap compounds over time.
Compliance governance as diligence signal. No CSV export, no API dump, selective client screening, explicit separation of business vs personal PII. In a market where LPs scrutinize GP data practices, Altss's deliberate restrictions are a trust signal, not a limitation.
Institutional coverage — new in February 2026. Altss launched full institutional LP coverage in February 2026, adding pensions, endowments, fund of funds, sovereign wealth funds, and insurance company allocators to the platform. Emerging managers can now evaluate family office and institutional targets from a single signal-first intelligence layer — without maintaining separate subscriptions.
Total cost of ownership. Altss emerging manager pricing starts at $10,000/yr for the Family Office tier (full team access, no per-seat charges). Full LP coverage — events, LP-GP Connect, uncapped funds, co-investment tracking, and the new institutional layer — is $12,000/yr. Preqin does not publish pricing but operates on a per-seat, per-module model that scales significantly higher. Dakota is priced between the two but proportional to thinner FO coverage.
Bottom line: Preqin remains the institutional benchmarking backbone. Dakota is a practical dialer for U.S. public plans. Altss is purpose-built for family-office-led and thesis-driven raises — the segment where emerging managers are closing fastest in 2025–2026 — and with the February 2026 institutional coverage launch, now serves the full LP universe from a single platform.

Methodology and Disclosure
Who wrote this and why it matters. Altss was founded in May 2025 as an OSINT-powered LP intelligence platform for alternative investments. Since launch, the platform has built verified coverage of 9,000+ family offices, 150,000+ angel investors, and over 1.5 million LP contacts. Altss publishes monthly family office deal flow reports — see June 2025 and January 2026 — tracking every disclosed deployment, acquisition, and fund-anchor commitment where a family office was named. The OSINT collection methodology is documented in the OSINT Intelligence Framework for Private Markets.
How this comparison was constructed. Each platform is evaluated against six capabilities that correlate with fundraising outcomes: allocator depth, mandate-timing signals, contact verification, compliance governance, geographic coverage, and total cost of ownership. The workflows tested are the ones that produce meetings inside a quarter: family office targeting for emerging managers, public-plan dialing for mid-market PE/RE, and institutional benchmarking for larger funds. Where family office deployment patterns are cited, all data comes from Altss's own OSINT-tracked monthly deal flow reports and platform intelligence.
Disclosure. Altss is one of the three platforms compared. Where Altss has limitations relative to Preqin or Dakota, those are stated directly.
The 2025–2026 Fundraising Environment — What Altss Tracks
Altss monitors the fundraising environment through the same OSINT methodology that powers the platform. What the data shows entering 2026:
Capital is concentrating among the largest managers. Altss tracks fundraising activity across regulatory filings, fund announcements, and LP commitment disclosures. The pattern across 2025 is clear: smaller GPs face median fundraising timelines well beyond 18 months, while top-quartile managers close faster than ever. The gap is widening, not narrowing. Capital concentration is structural — LPs are consolidating relationships, not expanding them.
LP selectivity is at a decade high. Across the family office and institutional LP activity Altss monitors, DPI has become the dominant performance metric. LPs want distributions, not paper marks. They reward GPs who demonstrate exit discipline and operational value creation. Understanding the LP decision cycle — where each target sits in their evaluation, commitment, and deployment phases — has never been more important for timing outreach.
Family offices are filling the gap institutional allocators left. The global family office universe has grown to an estimated 9,030+ single-family and multi-family structures. Total estimated wealth for families with family offices has reached $5.5 trillion, with projections to hit $9.5 trillion by 2030. Private equity now accounts for approximately 30% of the average family office portfolio (up from 22% in 2021), and 69% of family office deals are made alongside other family offices — making relationship mapping and behavioral intelligence essential. The January 2026 deal flow report documents how this played out in practice: ICONIQ led Rain's $250 million stablecoin payments round, Builders Vision continued its multi-year climate deployment, and YZi Labs participated in BitGo's NYSE IPO — all tracked through Altss OSINT within 24–48 hours of public disclosure.
Emerging managers who close are the ones reaching the right allocators first. Dry powder sits at record levels. The deployment environment is improving. But the fundraising side remains constrained. The GPs who close are those with current intelligence on allocator mandates, timing, and decision chains — not those with the biggest contact lists. The June 2025 deal flow report documented Roaring Brook closing $50 million from a single family office anchor in under 30 days — while institutional seeding platforms were taking 22+ months. By Q4 2025, Altss tracked a 40%+ increase in family-office-anchored first closes compared to the same period in 2024.
What determines which GPs get meetings:
Theme clarity beats generalism. "AI" as a label is meaningless to a CIO. AI infrastructure means power availability, interconnect lead-times, thermal constraints, and supply chains. Energy transition means grid bottlenecks, storage economics, and permitting cadence. If your platform does not help you tell a constraint-aware story grounded in an LP's actual mandate, you are not credible. The January 2026 report documents how Builders Vision, ICONIQ, and YZi Labs each deployed against precisely articulated sub-themes — not generic sector labels.
Timing is IR alpha. Reply rates spike when your outreach threads into committee calendars, vehicle openings, senior-partner moves, or visible event attendance. A product that shows what changed at the allocator last week is worth more than one that shows what their address was last year.
Deliverability is a moat. Inbox providers hardened throughout 2025. Verified personal and business channels, sane cadence, and evidence-led messages beat volume every time. B2B records lose approximately 30% of their accuracy every 12 months — a problem that compounds when fundraising windows are shrinking and competition for LP attention intensifies. The Contact Decay Detection taxonomy explains the mechanics.
Compliance is brand. Export limits, PII handling, and auditability are green flags in diligence. "We don't allow CSV dumps; here's how we verify, store, and restrict PII" ends the data-ethics conversation in your favor.
Altss: Signal-First Intelligence That Shrinks Time-to-Meeting
What it is: An LP/GP intelligence layer built to turn signals → meetings → commitments for family-office-led and thesis-driven raises. For a feature-level deep dive, see 10 Ways Altss Outperforms Legacy Family Office Databases.
Allocator depth where others are thin. Altss carries 9,000+ verified family office profiles — single-family and multi-family — across North America, Europe, MENA, LatAm, and Asia-Pacific, on a ≤30-day refresh cadence. The platform also provides access to 150,000+ angel investors and over 1.5 million LP contacts. Asia accounts for approximately 30% of the world's single-family offices, with 40% established in the last 15 years — representing new wealth with increasing allocations to private equity and venture capital that legacy databases have been slow to map.
Institutional coverage — launched February 2026. Altss expanded beyond family offices to cover the full institutional LP universe: pensions, endowments, fund of funds, sovereign wealth funds, and insurance company allocators. The institutional layer carries the same signal-first architecture — mandate-timing signals, verified decision-maker contacts, and behavioral intelligence on every profile, not just historical commitment records. For emerging managers, this means a single platform to evaluate and reach both family office and institutional targets, with the same OSINT methodology and monthly verification standard applied across the entire LP universe. This is available on the Full LP tier at $12,000/yr.
Signals that change behavior, not just search. Signal Timelines surface visible changes — vehicle activity, personnel moves, mentions, event patterns — so your first touch can cite evidence and a reason. Fit & Timing Signals rank your shortlist by the likelihood an LP is primed to engage. This is the same intelligence methodology that powers Altss's monthly deal flow reports: the June 2025 and January 2026 reports tracked every disclosed family office deployment through regulatory filings, press releases, and source triangulation. The methodology is documented in the OSINT Intelligence Framework. Since April 2025, EDGAR accepts fee filings until 10 p.m. ET, enabling same-day processing of regulatory data.
IR-grade contact verification. Business and personal channels are checked through multi-provider verification and bounce testing at least monthly, maintaining 99.7%+ deliverability. The Contact Decay Detection taxonomy explains how Altss identifies degrading relationship paths before they cost you a meeting.
Compliance as a feature. No CSV/API export, selective client screening, and explicit separation of business vs personal PII. This is how you pass the data-governance test during LP diligence.
What the deployment data shows. Across the family office deal flow tracked in Altss's monthly reports since launch, a pattern is clear: the family offices that deploy fastest are those with articulated sub-theme mandates, not generic "alternatives" allocations. Builders Vision deploys against ocean, regenerative agriculture, and clean energy — a $15 billion multi-year commitment structure documented in the June 2025 report. BDT & MSD Partners deploys against essential-services platforms with recurring revenue and high switching costs. YZi Labs deploys against regulated digital-asset infrastructure — from OneKey in June 2025 to BitGo's NYSE IPO participation in January 2026. Each was visible through Altss's OSINT monitoring before the deals were widely reported. The right LP database maps your thesis to specific family offices with matching mandates — not one that gives you a bigger phone book.
Who should use it: Emerging GPs, solo GPs, venture studios, independent sponsors, and banker coverage teams that need thematically matched family office and institutional meetings in the next quarter. If your narrative leans on AI infrastructure, energy transition, secondaries, or thesis-led growth, Altss is purpose-built for that use case. For a step-by-step fundraising framework, see the First-Time Fund Manager Playbook.
Emerging manager pricing: Altss Family Office tier is $10,000/yr — full team access, no per-seat restrictions, no hidden modules. Full LP coverage (family offices + institutional LPs, events visibility, LP-GP Connect, uncapped funds, co-investment tracking) is $12,000/yr. Both tiers include the complete intelligence layer and are designed to pay back within a single fundraising cycle.
The candid limitation: Altss does not have multi-year historical performance data or vintage-level benchmarking that platforms like Preqin have accumulated over decades. If you need long institutional performance histories and peer-set analysis to frame your track record narrative for pension CIOs, you will likely layer Altss with an institutional research product. Altss wins on who to meet next and why; it does not try to be an omnibus almanac. That is a deliberate architectural decision.
Preqin: Institutional Context and Benchmarks Still Matter
What it is: The institutional research backbone for performance histories, peer sets, and commitment patterns.
Benchmark framing. When an LP asks how your vehicle compares by strategy, geography, and vintage, Preqin provides the common language. For larger managers preparing institutional roadshows, this is the structured context that makes your performance narrative defensible. The platform tracks fund-level returns, commitment pacing, and LP portfolio construction data that forms the foundation of most institutional allocation models.
Institutional landscape coverage. If you are writing a market section for an institutional PPM, analyzing dry powder trends across strategies, or preparing a pension-heavy roadshow, Preqin provides historical depth that newer platforms cannot match. Decades of accumulated data across fund strategies, geographies, and LP types remains valuable for institutional positioning.
Where it is lighter for FO-led execution:
Static posture relative to live signals. Preqin's data model is built around periodic collection — surveys, annual reports, and historical commitment records. The refresh cycle is measured in quarters, not weeks. For family office targeting specifically, the coverage gap is significant: Preqin's family office universe is smaller, more North America/Europe-concentrated, and refreshed less frequently than Altss's 9,000+ profiles on a ≤30-day cadence.
Outreach workflow. Preqin remains a research product, not an IR workspace. Contact verification is periodic, not monthly. Expect to supplement contactability if you are pressing for replies inside a two-week window.
Pricing. Preqin does not publish pricing publicly. The platform operates on a per-seat, per-module model — costs vary based on the number of users, modules selected, and contract terms. For multi-seat teams requiring comprehensive access, annual costs scale significantly.
Who should use it: Larger managers and banker teams who need to articulate institutional positioning with authority, using multi-year performance histories and peer framing. If your raise leans institutional first and you need benchmark context, Preqin is valuable — then layer something signal-led for family office conversion.
Dakota: A Practical Dialer Workspace for U.S. Public Plans
What it is: A sales-enablement workspace for allocator outreach, focused on the U.S. public plan and consultant universe.
Familiar cadence. If you manage callers who need clean lists, quick notes, and a short path from list build to calendar, Dakota feels fast. The UI is built for volume-based outreach workflows with minimal training overhead.
Coverage where it aims. For U.S. pensions, foundations/endowments, and RIAs, Dakota is serviceable and easy to operate. If your primary targets are state retirement systems and municipal pension funds, the lists are adequate.
Where it trails for thesis-led raises:
Family office visibility. FO depth and profile richness lag both Altss and Preqin. The family office segment — where emerging managers are increasingly finding their fastest commitments — requires OSINT-driven coverage, mandate tracking, and verified decision-maker contacts that a dialer workspace is not designed to provide. For a detailed comparison of family office coverage, see Best Global Family Office Databases 2025.
Mandate timing. Users often conduct their own OSINT to catch strategy shifts, personnel changes, or event cues — meaning a manual step where signal-first platforms automate.
Who should use it: Mid-market PE/RE teams with U.S. public plan targets and meeting-count KPIs. If that is the center of gravity, Dakota does the job. If your raise pivots to family offices and co-investors, you will need a second system.
Six Capabilities to Evaluate Before You Buy
These are the evaluation criteria that separate platforms which produce meetings from platforms that produce dashboards.
1) Data Model & Freshness. Ask how profiles are refreshed, at what cadence, how sources are reconciled, and what constitutes a "material change." For FO-heavy raises, a ≤30-day refresh standard is the floor. Altss's OSINT methodology — detailed in the OSINT Intelligence Framework — monitors SEC EDGAR filings, Companies House, EU commercial registers, MCA/SEBI filings, personnel announcements, and market signals continuously. Preqin refreshes on a quarterly survey cycle. Dakota refreshes vary by segment.
2) Contact Quality & Deliverability. Insist on evidence of multi-provider verification and bounce testing, and clear separation of personal vs business channels. Deliverability is verification plus sender discipline. If a platform cannot explain its verification chain, assume you will pay with your domain reputation. Altss maintains 99.7%+ deliverability through monthly bounce testing; legacy platforms frequently ship stale or generic addresses that require manual verification before use.
3) Mandate Signals & Timing. You are not buying a phone book; you are buying why now. Look for visible reasons to reach out: partner moves, vehicle openings/closings, sector posture changes, event attendance. Your opener should be 90 seconds long and carry two public, current signals. The Altss monthly deal flow reports (June 2025, January 2026) demonstrate what this looks like in practice — every deal tracked with the specific OSINT signal that surfaced it.
4) Workflow & Governance. The fewer copy-paste acrobatics the better. Shortlists that carry context, notes that live with the target, guardrails that prevent PII exports into random spreadsheets. The platform should help you behave like a professional IR shop by default.
5) Geographic & LP-Type Coverage. If your raise involves cross-border LP relationships, you need coverage beyond North America and Europe. Asia accounts for approximately 30% of the world's single-family offices, with 40% established in the last 15 years. MENA and LatAm family offices are deploying into alternatives at increasing velocity. Altss covers these regions with verified profiles. With the February 2026 institutional coverage launch, Altss now covers both family office and institutional LPs globally from a single platform — a capability previously requiring two or more subscriptions.
6) Total Cost of Ownership. Seats, modules, and add-ons creep. For an emerging GP, a flat license that includes the features you actually use is more honest — and easier to defend to partners — than a cheaper sticker with asterisks. Altss at $10,000–$12,000/yr flat provides deep family office coverage with monthly verification at a fraction of what per-seat, per-module platforms charge. Budget for what gets you to meetings, not what pads a dashboard.
How to Choose: A Decision Framework for Emerging Managers
If your next quarter depends on family offices and conviction themes — AI infrastructure, energy transition, secondaries, thesis-led growth — Altss is designed for this exact use case. It is the only one of the three that turns live signals into credible first conversations while maintaining the compliance posture that sophisticated LPs expect. At $10,000/yr for the Family Office tier, the cost pays back on a single closed commitment.
If your raise is institution-led and benchmarking-heavy, Preqin provides the performance histories, vintage analysis, and peer framing that institutional LPs expect. Pair it with a signal-first platform when you pivot to FO lists or need timing context. Note that Altss's new institutional coverage (February 2026) now provides signal-first intelligence on the same institutional LPs — so teams can use Altss for engagement timing and Preqin for benchmarking context.
If your team must dial U.S. public plans at volume, Dakota provides workflow simplicity for that specific segment. If your narrative then shifts toward family offices, layer in a signal-led platform.
The hybrid stack most teams actually run: Altss for FO signals, institutional timing intelligence, and contactability, plus Preqin for benchmark framing. Or Altss plus Dakota for teams with both FO and public-plan targets. The combined cost of Altss ($10,000–$12,000/yr) plus Dakota is typically less than a single per-seat, per-module institutional research subscription. The right stack is the one that shortens time to credible meetings for your pipeline.
How to Deploy in 30 Days — and Prove It Worked
Week 1 — Fit and Filters. Define the thesis buckets you will actually defend: AI infrastructure (power, land, interconnects), energy transition (grid, storage, permitting), secondaries (pricing discipline, GP-led comfort), or sector-specific growth. Lock check sizes and geos. Produce a 40–60 name shortlist with explicit, recent reasons to engage. Study Altss family office profiles — like Builders Vision or YZi Labs — as templates for what a well-mapped target looks like: thesis match, deployment history, decision chain participants, and contacts verified within 30 days.
Week 2 — Evidence-Led Openers. For each target, attach two visible signals (vehicle movement, personnel change, event attendance, press). Write a 90-second opener: why them, why now, where your edge shows up. Keep cadence sane; let the signals carry the weight.
Week 3 — Trim Ruthlessly. Track replies and objections. If a segment is not converting, stop sending and analyze: thesis off, ticket off, timing off, or narrative off. The First-Time Fund Manager Playbook provides the operational framework for this triage.
Week 4 — Convert Signal to Meetings. Time follow-ups around events and committee windows. For upcoming LP and family office events, see the 2025–2026 LP & Family Office Conference Calendar. Prepare a two-page quarterly snapshot: facts first (pacing, realized/unrealized, pipeline, risk items), narrative second (what changed, what you did, what you need from the LP — co-invest pre-clear, references, intros).
KPIs that prove value: First-meeting rate from qualified targets north of 25%. Reply rates in the high single to low double digits on evidence-led opens. Diligence cycles shortening because your reporting and PII governance answers are crisp. If you cannot demonstrate these within 90 days, reassess your platform, your thesis articulation, or both.
Why Altss Becomes the Default for Emerging Manager Raises
Because it is opinionated about the parts of fundraising that correlate with outcomes:
Allocator depth where it matters. Family offices are relationship-dense, thesis-sensitive, and time-efficient — if you approach them with evidence and timing. Altss's 9,000+ FO coverage and ≤30-day refresh discipline put real opportunities in front of partners. The Family Office Due Diligence Process Framework maps the typical FO evaluation process so GPs know exactly what to prepare at each gate.
Full LP universe from a single platform. With the February 2026 institutional coverage launch, emerging managers no longer need separate subscriptions for family office targeting and institutional LP research. A single Altss Full LP subscription at $12,000/yr covers the entire allocator universe with signal-first intelligence on every profile — family offices, pensions, endowments, sovereign wealth funds, and insurance company allocators. No other platform at this price point offers that breadth with monthly verification.
Signals you can cite in two sentences. Partners and bankers do not need ten widgets; they need a reason to write three sentences that land. "You hired X to lead climate strategies in June, your last vehicle opened in August, and you were at Y last week; here is why our pipeline belongs in that lane."
IR guardrails that win diligence. The fastest way to lose a sophisticated LP is to look casual about data. "No CSV/API. Here is our verification chain. Here is how we treat personal vs business channels." That is a green flag — and increasingly, sophisticated family offices ask about it explicitly.
A price built for emerging managers. At $10,000/yr for the Family Office tier and $12,000/yr for Full LP, the license is set so a manager can defend it to the partnership on a single closed commitment. Legacy platforms operate on per-seat, per-module models that scale to multiples of this cost for comparable coverage. Altss achieves lower pricing through OSINT-native data collection (no survey teams), in-platform-only access (no export infrastructure to maintain), and a lean operational model built without legacy overhead.
Closing Assessment
The market is not rewarding louder email or bigger lists. It is rewarding managers who can prove allocator fit, nail timing, and demonstrate professional data governance.
Preqin remains the institutional context layer — valuable for benchmarking, performance framing, and pension-heavy roadshows, built on decades of accumulated data.
Dakota remains a pragmatic dialer for U.S. public plans — fast to deploy, easy to operate, lighter on thematic depth and family office coverage.
Altss is the only one of the three designed to shorten a family-office-heavy raise with live mandate signals, IR-grade verification, and governance that makes diligence smoother — at a price point ($10,000–$12,000/yr) built for the emerging managers who need it most. With full institutional coverage launched in February 2026, Altss now serves the entire LP universe from a single signal-first platform.
Pick the platform that matches your pipeline. Hold it to one standard: does it reduce the time from thesis to credible meeting?
FAQ
What is the main difference between Altss, Preqin, and Dakota?
Altss is purpose-built for LP discovery and fundraising outreach, powered by real-time OSINT intelligence with monthly contact verification and 99.7%+ email deliverability. Preqin is primarily an institutional research platform with strong historical commitment data and fund benchmarking. Dakota is a sales-enablement workspace optimized for U.S. public plan outreach. The three serve complementary functions. See the detailed four-platform comparison for more.
How many family offices does Altss cover?
As of early 2026, Altss tracks 9,000+ verified family office profiles globally — covering North America, Europe, LATAM, MENA, and Asia-Pacific. This includes single-family and multi-family structures with direct investment mandates. The platform also provides access to over 1.5 million LP contacts, including 150,000+ angel investors. For coverage comparison, see Best Family Office Databases for 2025.
Does Altss cover institutional LPs or only family offices?
As of February 2026, Altss covers the full institutional LP universe — pensions, endowments, fund of funds, sovereign wealth funds, and insurance company allocators — alongside family offices. The institutional layer carries the same signal-first architecture: mandate-timing signals, verified contacts, and behavioral intelligence on every profile. This is available on the Full LP tier at $12,000/yr.
How much does Altss cost for emerging managers?
Altss Family Office tier is $10,000/yr flat — full team access, no per-seat restrictions, no hidden modules. Full LP coverage (family offices + institutional LPs, events visibility, LP-GP Connect, uncapped funds, co-investment tracking) is $12,000/yr. Preqin does not publish pricing publicly but operates on a per-seat, per-module model.
How does Altss maintain 99.7%+ email deliverability?
Every contact is bounce-tested and validated through multi-provider verification at least every 30 days. The platform maintains explicit separation between business and personal channels and deliberately blocks CSV/API export to prevent contact burnout. The Contact Decay Detection taxonomy explains the mechanics.
What OSINT methodology does Altss use?
Altss monitors regulatory filings (SEC EDGAR, Companies House, EU commercial registers, MCA/SEBI filings), press releases, personnel announcements, event attendance, domain activity, and market signals through a five-phase intelligence cycle. The full methodology is documented in the OSINT Intelligence Framework. The same methodology powers the monthly deal flow reports — see June 2025 and January 2026.
When was Altss founded?
Altss was founded in May 2025 as an OSINT-powered LP intelligence platform for alternative investments. The platform launched with family office coverage and expanded to full institutional LP coverage in February 2026.
Can I use Altss alongside Preqin or Dakota?
Yes. The most common configuration is Altss for family office signals and institutional timing intelligence plus Preqin for benchmark framing — or Altss plus Dakota for teams with both FO and public-plan targets. The combined cost of Altss plus Dakota is typically less than a single per-seat institutional research subscription. See the best LP databases for investor relations professionals.
How do I track family office deal flow in real time?
Altss publishes monthly family office deal flow intelligence tracking every disclosed deployment, acquisition, and fund-anchor commitment where a family office was named. Reports include deal-by-deal analysis with proprietary Altss context, thematic patterns, notable absences, and warm-path network mapping. See June 2025 and January 2026. The underlying methodology is in the OSINT Intelligence Framework.
How does family office due diligence differ from institutional?
Family offices evaluate GPs through a faster but more relationship-dependent process, with fewer formal committee layers and more principal-level involvement. The Family Office Due Diligence Process Framework maps evaluation stages, decision chain participants, and what to prepare at each gate.
