Glacier
Adam Altman and Judson Gee launched Glacier in 2019, drawing on their experience running a multibillion-dollar single-family office where the pair had worked alongside one another (public record). Altman serves as CEO; Gee serves as CIO. Glacier operates as a multi-family office that invests its own permanent capital. Glacier invests across direct private equity and late-stage venture capital, typically through controlled buyouts and meaningful minority positions. The firm has disclosed active investments in climate-technology and industrial software. It focuses on companies with clear upside drivers, market-positioned growth, and operational catalysts. The firm is based in New York City. Team size and additional offices have not been made public. Glacier has not disclosed AUM. In early 2024, the firm maintained its established investment pace, sourcing opportunities through its network of former colleagues and co-investors (public record). Glacier differs from many family offices by employing a fully dedicated investment team and operating with the permanent capital of its founding family — thus forgoing the fund-raising cycle entirely and allowing it to hold assets for extended durations.
