Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at The Alternative?
The firm does not name any investment professionals on its website. Its privacy policy reveals affiliate relationships with Target Global and Longeron, suggesting possible oversight from principals at those entities, but no individual has been publicly identified as making investment decisions for The Alternative.
What is the relationship between The Alternative and Target Global?
The firm's privacy policy, last updated on October 10, 2025, explicitly names Target Global as a related entity. Target Global is a Berlin-headquartered venture firm with a focus on European and Israeli startups. The exact nature of the relationship — whether The Alternative serves as a parallel vehicle, a feeder fund, or a co-investment entity — has not been disclosed.
Does The Alternative have an active investment portfolio?
No. Every page on the firm's website, including the portfolio, team, and strategy sections, displays only a placeholder message stating that something is on the horizon. As of the latest available public data, no investments have been announced or recorded.
What investment stages does The Alternative target?
Altss-tagged strategy data, derived from firm materials, indicates a focus on early-stage venture, including seed, start-up, and late-stage or expansion rounds. However, the firm's website does not yet describe its specific stage mandate.
Is The Alternative structured as a family office or an asset manager?
It is structured as an asset manager and does not serve a single disclosed principal or family. Its incorporation as The Alternative Point of View Ltd in the Cayman Islands and its stated intent to offer investment management services point to a fund manager structure rather than a single-family office.
