ut alteri beneficium (to benefit others) At the Alteri Fund we believe transformative ideas come from all walks of life. We are an Denver-based fund that understands that startup companies have the ability to transform entire industries and to address social inclusion as they do so. Recent studies show that female founders produce 7% higher returns than their male counterparts. Black women founded startups are undervalued and provide up to 46% greater returns to their investors. Because we see a massive inclusion gap in venture investing we select with prejudice against the founder profile that represents 93% of today’s venture funded companies: 30-ish white male founders. We believe underrepresented founders bring perspectives of the world that have largely been ignored and these perspective will play a vital role in developing their unfair advantage over the other 93% of startups. We seek deals with extremely driven founders that intend to use technology to solve problems and improve the lives of others.
