Here's How Alter Has Built a Portfolio of 40+ Leading Startups in 18 Countries

Insights into Alter's investment thesis, how it combines talent and venture capital through its unique Fellowship program and its work in Bangladesh

Silicon Valley is no longer a location but a mindset, and every country has a few game-changing entrepreneurs that can create outsized value. Their ventures can scale to provide jobs and deliver essential products and services to potentially millions of people.

Alter finds these national heroes in the making and asks, “How can we scale your growth and impact 10x?” Then matches them with top Silicon Valley talent, networks, know-how and investments to make it happen.

It currently supports 43 bold, brilliant ventures across Asia, Africa, the Middle East and the Americas. Alter's portfolio companies in Bangladesh include Praava Health, Pathao and Chaldal, all leading companies in healthcare, logistics and ecommerce, respectively.

We recently had Yash Vardhan Kanoi and Ana Caballero from Alter Global and Cindy Fan and Sabah Sheikh, Fellows at Praava Health as part of the Alter Fellowship, join us for a special fireside with the BAN community. Check out the snippet from the session below.

The Alter Fellowship Program provides exceptional consultants, product managers, engineers, and data scientists with an opportunity to work at one of portfolio companies, located in emerging tech cities around the world, for 6 months to a year.
