Altss Expands OSINT-Powered LP Intelligence Platform to Over 30,000 Institutional Investors
Cybersecurity and open-source intelligence veterans have significantly expanded their allocator intelligence platform, bringing verified coverage to more than 30,000 institutional investors and family offices worldwide. The Miami-based company announced the general availability of its Institutional LP Coverage, which extends its sub-30-day data verification standard across a comprehensive range of investment entities.
Comprehensive Coverage Expansion
The platform now includes verified profiles for pensions, endowments, foundations, insurance general accounts, sovereign wealth funds, consultants, outsourced chief investment officers, fund-of-funds, and registered investment advisors with alternatives exposure. This expansion builds upon Altss's existing coverage of more than 9,000 family offices, creating one of the most comprehensive institutional investor databases available.
Every profile within the platform includes verified decision-maker contacts, current mandate signals, and source-linked data fields with precise timestamps indicating when each data point was last confirmed. The company maintains an exceptional 99%+ contact deliverability rate, addressing a critical pain point for fundraising teams.
Addressing Legacy Database Limitations
Altss has experienced sustained growth in inbound interest from capital-raising teams currently using traditional LP databases. The company reports that former subscribers of established platforms like Preqin and PitchBook have migrated to their system, citing several key advantages over legacy solutions.
The most frequently mentioned drivers for switching platforms include contact data that decays between infrequent refresh cycles, limited family office coverage depth, and platform costs that are difficult to justify against actual fundraising outcomes. Altss's real-time verification approach directly addresses these concerns by maintaining continuously updated information.
Market Context and Industry Shifts
The private capital markets have grown to encompass over $22 trillion in global assets under management, yet the infrastructure supporting fundraising has struggled to keep pace with this expansion. The median time-to-close for institutional fund commitments has extended to 14-18 months, creating significant challenges for fund managers seeking capital.
Compounding this challenge, the number of funds in market has exceeded historical norms while limited partner deployment pace has slowed. This environment has elevated the importance of data quality and outreach timing, with these factors now directly determining which managers secure allocations and which are passed over.
Industry Consolidation and Platform Differentiation
The LP data market has undergone significant consolidation in recent years. Preqin's acquisition by BlackRock in March 2025 prompted both allocators and fund managers to reassess data independence and vendor relationships. Meanwhile, PitchBook, owned by Morningstar, serves a broad market that spans deal sourcing, company intelligence, and mergers and acquisitions, making limited partner coverage secondary to its core platform offerings.
For fundraising teams, the fundamental question has evolved from which legacy database to subscribe to, to whether the traditional database model itself still aligns with how capital is raised in today's market environment.
Cybersecurity Foundation and Verification Methodology
What distinguishes Altss from traditional financial data providers is its foundational approach to information verification. The company was not built by database analysts or conventional financial data vendors. Instead, the founding team spent years working within global cybersecurity firms and large-scale open-source intelligence operations.
This background has fundamentally shaped the platform's architecture and methodology. In cybersecurity and intelligence environments, data verification is not merely a product feature but an operational discipline, where source provenance is auditable by design, and acting on unverified intelligence carries real consequences.
Altss treats allocator data with the same rigor that cybersecurity operations apply to threat intelligence. The platform employs continuous collection across both structured and unstructured sources, automated cross-referencing against multiple signals, human verification on a regular cadence, and full source lineage tracking on every material data field.
This approach ensures that fundraising teams can access the most current and reliable information available, enabling more effective outreach and relationship building with institutional investors worldwide.
