Key data
Family-office direct investments in April 2026: 55.
March 2026 comparison: 39 deals (Iran war slowdown).
Disclosed April deal value: $2.86B across 40 transactions with public figures.
Healthcare led deal count for the first time in 2026
April logged 15 healthcare deals versus 14 IT deals across tracked family-office direct activity. Total disclosed family-office direct investments came in at 55 in April versus 39 in March. Disclosed deal value: $2.86B across 40 transactions.
The crossover matters because IT had been the default family-office direct theme for most of the prior cycle. Healthcare moving in front of it is consistent with what Altss has been seeing in commitment intent across single-family offices since the start of the year — biopharma platforms, digital health, and care-delivery infrastructure all showing up disproportionately in primary-round participation.
Composition: more deals, less concentration
Family offices got better at direct deals in April: 35 of 51 family-office direct investments came at seed and Series A — the stage where families act as lead rather than passenger. April composition was healthier than March on every dimension that matters: more deals, more participating families, and less single-deal value concentration.

Methodology
Altss counts a family-office direct investment when a single-family office, multi-family office, principal investment group, or sovereign-adjacent family vehicle is named on the cap table or closing documents of a disclosed round. Each family office is counted once per round; follow-on rounds are counted separately. Deal value is the disclosed round size; rounds with undisclosed value are counted but excluded from value totals. See the full methodology for source rules and coverage caveats.
