Investment Criteria

Alante invests in companies that enable a circular, equitable and decarbonized future for the fashion, home and outdoor industries.  We back promising startups that can outperform across quality, price and sustainability.

  • Stages: Pre-seed, Seed and Series A. We look for a viable business model with a large market opportunity, early revenue and initial traction, a clear pathway to scale and the potential to generate solid returns within the market.

  • Industries: Fashion, home goods and outdoor gear.

  • Technologies: Climate tech, circular economy, deep tech, AI, enterprise SaaS, consumer. We do not invest in brands, rather, we invest in technologies that reduce emissions, waste and human exploitation by working with existing industry stakeholders. (We do not invest in brands.)

  • Investment Thesis: Driving efficiency, circularity, carbon reduction and equity while targeting market-rate returns.

  • Founder Profile: Talented, committed and experienced management teams. 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.
