Karla and Leslie founded Alante to create a space that would enable investors, entrepreneurs and business leaders to come together and reimagine the future of industry, find solutions to pressing global problems and do our part to address climate change.

By improving the production and consumption patterns of leading industries, we can increase their efficiency and build resilience while protecting people and the planet. We started by serving the often-overlooked yet ubiquitous industries of fashion, home and outdoor that collectively make up a $4 trillion market.

Over the past two decades, prices have hit record lows, while production continues to soar, resulting in an exponential increase in environmental and social costs. The challenges of managing opaque supply chains have allowed for forced labor, hazardous working conditions and toxic dumping to become hidden costs of our daily products. Simultaneously, overconsumption has resulted in staggering amounts of waste filling our landfills and oceans. Companies are actively developing and integrating new solutions to make the lifecycle of fashion, home and outdoor industries safer, cleaner, more efficient and more sustainable.

We are here to help them do it.

We work across the value chain with a diversified approach, investing in technologies that transform how products are designed, made, sold, used and recovered. We back companies that are using material science, artificial intelligence and automation to help industry leaders—from factories to retailers— modernize, build resilience and unlock a sustainable future for the fashion, home and outdoor industries.
