Deal-by-deal capital sourcing for independent sponsors
Every deal is its own fundraise. Altss gives independent sponsors the real-time map of family offices, funded sponsors, and institutional allocators who back independent sponsor transactions — by sector, size, and geography.
Who this is for
You're an independent sponsor — fundless sponsor, pledge fund operator, or search fund principal. You raise capital deal-by-deal. Your LPs are family offices, funded sponsors with co-invest capital, and institutional allocators with direct-invest programs.
The problem you're solving
Every deal is a new fundraise.
You identify a target, sign an LOI or exclusivity, then have 30-90 days to raise the equity. No fund commitment to draw from. Speed of LP discovery is existential.
Your LP base needs to be cultivated between deals.
You can't wait until you have a deal to start the relationship. You need an always-on LP coverage motion with 100-200 names you're nurturing across industries and geographies.
Independent sponsor economics are unfamiliar to many LPs.
Promote structures, transaction fees, carried interest on committed capital — the economics are different from fund LP positions. Finding LPs who understand the model is half the battle.

Why Altss vs generic deal platforms for IS
Deal platforms like Axial connect you to intermediated deal flow. They don't help you on the capital side. Altss is the capital-side infrastructure: who the actual equity LPs are, what they've backed, when they're active. Most IS firms benefit from both.
