Altara Ventures

Singapore-based Altara Ventures established itself as a leading venture capital firm, dedicated to empowering entrepreneurs throughout Southeast Asia. They recognize the entrepreneurial journey as a demanding ascent, fraught with twists, turns, and unforeseen challenges. Just like scaling a mountain with its switchbacks and unexpected obstacles, entrepreneurial success requires resilience and a strategic approach. Altara Ventures positions itself as the ideal partner for Southeast Asian entrepreneurs on their quests to reach the summit.

Altara Ventures focuses on early-stage ventures, often leading investment rounds and providing ongoing support through follow-on capital as their portfolio companies mature. They boast the distinction of being the largest and most experienced venture capital partnership headquartered in Singapore with a proven track record of success across Southeast Asia. Furthermore, their global investment experience equips them to navigate the complexities of the international financial landscape. Altara Ventures goes beyond traditional financial backing. Their core team comprises seasoned business builders, each with a distinguished past as a founder or early executive in ventures that achieved billion-dollar IPO exits in both Asia and the United States (Omni, Zynga, Zuora). This depth of experience translates into invaluable mentorship and strategic guidance for the entrepreneurs within their portfolio.

Altara Ventures leverages its extensive domain expertise to identify and cultivate promising startups across diverse sectors, including enterprise technology, consumer internet, financial services, logistics, education, and healthcare. Their investment philosophy is grounded in core values: integrity, a relentless pursuit of excellence, and a long-term perspective. Their focus lies on generating returns through the success of their portfolio companies, prioritizing the needs of founders rather than simply accumulating assets under management. This commitment fosters a collaborative environment built on trust and shared goals, propelling both Altara Ventures and their partner entrepreneurs toward the pinnacle of success.
