The Journey of Altirr: Navigating the Complex Waters of Alternative Investments

I. Introduction

As the founders of Altirr, we've always had a penchant for problem-solving. Both of us came from backgrounds deeply entrenched in financial technology and asset management, and as we spent years helping family offices and financial advisors, we couldn't help but notice recurring challenges that seemed to bog down even the most seasoned professionals.
‍
The complexities surrounding private or alternative investments — such as real estate, venture capital, and private equity — have left many family offices struggling to keep up. From managing capital calls to ensuring accurate tax reporting, we identified a clear need for an all-in-one solution that could streamline these processes and remove the operational burdens from the equation.
‍
In this blog, we want to delve into why we started Altirr, the pain points we're solving, and how we're innovating to keep up with the ever-changing landscape of alternative investments.

II. Identifying the Pain Points

We recognize that the unique structure and requirements of family offices lead to very specific challenges:

1. Managing Capital Calls

One of the most pressing issues we encountered was the initiation, tracking, and reconciliation of capital calls. The sheer complexity of moving parts, deadlines, and paperwork often created an operational nightmare for financial professionals.

2. Cash Flow Management

We realized that many family offices had a less-than-clear understanding of their cash flows, mainly due to a lack of comprehensive management tools. The lack of clarity led to inefficiencies and missed opportunities.

3. K1 Organization and Tax Reporting

Come tax season, managing K1 forms for multiple entities becomes a herculean task, and one simple mistake can lead to significant ramifications.

4. Returns Tracking

With increasing regulatory demands and growing emphasis on accountability, being able to accurately track returns by individual members became a necessity.

5. Entity Management

Managing multiple JV LLCs and other entities in an organized fashion demanded an efficient system for record-keeping and data management, something many of our prospective clients found lacking.

6. The Altirr Solution

With Altirr, we aimed to address each of these pain points head-on:

• User-Friendly Platform: We've spent countless hours developing a platform that's not just functional but also easy to navigate.
• Transparency: We believe that every stakeholder should have a complete view of their investment landscape. With unique login credentials, each member can track their individual investments in real-time.
