02 | Why us

Igor Ryabenkiy’s international investment company AltaIR Capital manages four funds with a total value of more than $350 million, as well as a portfolio of more than 150 active startups in the US, Israel, and Europe. The AltaIR Capital team has completed over 20 successful exits, including for Socure, Unomy, Guesty, ToutApp, Juno, PandaDoc, ThisIsL., Profi.ru, Checkout, and others.

AltaClub community is a unique guide into the venture capital business. Its members can invest in global startups along with AtlaIR Capital itself. Each member invests on equal terms with the fund. At the same time, AltaClub members make their own investment decisions on each startup and their investments, thus forming their individual portfolios.

Buying a stake in a technological startup is an opportunity to supplement and diversify classic investments into stock, futures, metals, and other financial assets.

HIGH PROFIT FOR HIGH RISK

The main advantage of alternative investments is that they are not tied to traditional stock market indices, and this is what makes them so attractive. Venture financing fits into this group of alternative investments. That is why many investors finance IT-startups as a tool to diversify their investment portfolios, buying up to 20% of equity in early-stage companies.

In 2019, venture investments totaled almost $300 billion globally, according to Crunchbase. But it is not all that simple. Statistics show that the majority of startups fail, and so does your investment. You can minimize risks and increase your possible returns, if you balance your portfolio (that is, hold stakes in companies at different development stages and with different growth rates, geography and operating in different sectors) and work with reliable and experienced partners.
