Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Altimeter Capital?
Brad Gerstner, the firm's founder, serves as Chairman and CEO and is the primary portfolio manager. He sets the investment direction across both private and public strategies, with deal teams organized by sector.
Does Altimeter participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?

What investment stages does Altimeter typically target?
Altimeter targets Series D, late-stage growth, pre-IPO, and publicly traded technology companies, with a crossover approach that allows it to hold positions from the private venture round well into a stock's public trading life.
