Our Investment Approach

Investing across climate tech, deep tech, AI and enterprise software, Alante Capital pairs a comprehensive investment strategy with deep sector expertise to build a risk adjusted portfolio with the potential for above market-rate returns alongside transformative social and environmental impact. Our deep industry focus and system-change approach give us the unique edge to find, select and support the most outstanding entrepreneurs modernizing the fashion, home and outdoor industries.

  • We work to combat climate change and human exploitation by investing to disrupt the underlying inhibitors to a sustainable future for design-driven consumer industries.

  • We don’t invest in brands, but rather the tools needed for any brand to improve sustainability, enable cost-savings, increase their competitive advantage and respond to the changing behavior of the modern consumer.

  • We find and fund exceptional entrepreneurs with big visions and clear strategies for execution, who are dedicated to building successful companies that intrinsically contribute to lasting, positive change for people and the planet. We proactively eliminate unconscious bias in our investment decision-making process and seek founders for our pipeline from under-recognized backgrounds in venture capital—in terms of gender, race and sexual orientation. 

Investment Criteria

Alante invests in pre-seed, seed, and series A companies that enable a circular and decarbonized future for the fashion, home and outdoor industries.  To support the critical transformation of these design-driven consumer industries, we use deep subject matter expertise to source, invest in, and scale the most promising startups that can outperform across quality, price and sustainability.

  • Strategic fit within Alante’s thesis to improve sustainability and resilience across design-driven consumer industries: a new technology that makes production practices more efficient and less resource intensive, supports mindful consumption and use among consumers, or recovers and recycles waste.

  • Talented, committed and experienced management teams.

  • Viable business model with a large market opportunity, some revenue and initial traction, a clear pathway to scale, and the potential to generate solid returns within the market.

  • A unique product offering that will advance the sector and solve critical social and/or environmental problems in our industries of focus.

  • The ability to track and measure the social, economic and environmental impacts.
