F.A.Q

Frequently asked questions

How does GP coverage compare to PitchBook?
PitchBook has deep historical deal and company data tied to GP portfolios — strongest for deal-level diligence. Altss has stronger real-time signal infrastructure on GP activity, better emerging manager identification, and published pricing. Complementary for many firms.
How do you handle emerging managers?
New Fund I / Fund II launches surface in Altss typically within weeks of formation via Form D and Form ADV monitoring. Legacy databases often miss emerging managers for 12-18 months.
Do you cover non-traditional GP structures?
Yes. Rolling funds, venture studios, evergreen vehicles, independent sponsors, search funds, and other non-standard structures are tagged separately.
How do you verify AUM?
Form ADV for RIA-registered managers (quarterly updates), Form PF for larger funds, press releases at fund closes, LP commitment tracking, and direct disclosure. Multiple-source triangulation for accuracy.
Do you track GP LP bases?
Yes, where publicly observable. Form ADV Schedule K, pension commitment disclosures, 13F beneficial owner analysis, family office direct investment disclosures. LP base intelligence is particularly valuable for competitive analysis and capital advisory work.
Pricing?
Standard per-seat $12K/$15.5K. Enterprise 5-seat $30K/$40K. GP data available in Full LP Coverage tier.
