Built for Fund I and Fund II managers raising without a track record
Altss replaces stale LP lists with a live map of which family offices and institutional allocators back emerging managers — updated daily, verified monthly, priced for funds that don't have $50K to burn on Preqin.
Who this is for
You're raising your first or second fund. You don't have 20 years of DPI to point to. Preqin is $40K+ before you see a contact. PitchBook is built for deal teams, not fundraising. You need to find the specific LPs who actually back emerging managers — and you need to reach them before the other 400 Fund Is in your inbox do.
The problem you're solving
LP lists go stale in 60 days.
The CIO moved firms. The family office hired a new IR lead. The pension updated its emerging manager allocation. Legacy databases catch these changes on quarterly refresh cycles. You find out when your email bounces.
Emerging manager filters don't exist on most platforms.
You have to manually tag which LPs have an emerging manager program, which cap at $50M fund size, which require a Fund I track record, which won't touch a first-time manager. That's weeks of research before you make a single call.
You can't afford to burn goodwill.
Every emerging manager gets one shot with each allocator. Send a generic template to a family office that already said no three months ago and you've closed that door. Send it on the day their CIO just announced a mandate shift and you've timed it perfectly.
How Altss helps
Emerging manager-friendly LP filters.
Pre-tagged allocators who back Fund I/Fund II, including family offices with documented emerging manager checks, institutional LPs with dedicated emerging manager programs, and angels/HNWIs who write anchor checks.
Real-time allocator signals.
When a family office announces a new mandate, when a pension updates its allocation policy, when a CIO transitions — Altss surfaces it the same week, not the next quarter.
Verified contacts that actually deliver.
Every email is re-verified on a 30-day cycle. Bounces are removed before they reach your screen. For an emerging manager with a small contact budget, deliverability is everything.
Pricing built for Fund I and Fund II.
Emerging manager pricing: $10,000 per seat for Family Office Coverage, $12,000 for Full LP Coverage. Published transparently — no 'request a quote' cycles that waste a month of your fundraise.
What's in the platform for you

- Mandate tracking, hiring signals, liquidity event detection
- Warm-path mapping — who on your team or cap table knows who at the target LP
- Event intelligence — which allocators are attending SuperReturn, IPEM, Context, Milken before you fly out
- OSINT-sourced portfolio history — which GPs has this LP actually backed, at what check size, at what stage
How teams like yours use Altss
01
First-close anchor search.
Filter to HNWIs and family offices that anchor Fund Is in your sector and geography. Build a target list of 40-60 names. Run warm-path analysis. Prioritize the 12 with the strongest connection paths.
02
Emerging manager program discovery.
Filter institutional LPs to those with explicit emerging manager allocations. Cross-reference with fund size limits (most cap at $100-250M) and strategy fit. Results in a short, defensible list — not a 2,000-row CSV.
03
Mandate-triggered outreach.
Set alerts for new allocation policies in your strategy. When a pension announces a 2% bump to venture, you're reaching out the same week with a relevant pitch — not six months later when the mandate is already filled.
Why Altss over Preqin or PitchBook for emerging managers
Preqin is built for institutional IR teams with established track records and existing LP relationships. PitchBook is a deal research platform that added LP data later. Neither was designed for the Fund I problem of 'who will actually take a meeting with me.' Altss was built by fund managers who've raised emerging funds — the filters, signals, and workflows reflect what actually moves the needle when you're cold-starting a raise.
