Who we are
Alante Capital is an early-stage VC fund investing to commercialize climate, circular and resilience-supporting technologies in design-driven consumer industries. We invest in exceptional founders developing innovation that can address systemic challenges across the value chains of apparel, textiles, footwear, home goods, and outdoor. Our differentiated insights and relationships with established corporations (brands, suppliers and retailers in apparel, footwear, home goods, etc.) inform our investment decision making process, and make us a value-added investor to founders in our portfolio. We are female-led, report on impact annually, and have an integrated DEI approach that has resulted in 11/12 of our Fund I portfolio companies having underrepresented founders or C-Suite executive(s), 8/12 female. We invest across materials science, enterprise and consumer software (no brands), and have an advisory board with deep operational expertise spanning our areas of interest.

Why are we taking the Beyond The Billion Pledge?
Supporting women founders has been core to our strategy from day 1, and we also have some incredible female LPs (over 1/2 of our LP base!). We love that this community exists!
