Swiss-based Stableton, a leader in venture capital (VC) direct secondaries, has teamed up with Alta, a digital private markets platform in Asia. This collaboration aims to expand investor access to high-growth, late-stage private companies, meeting the surging demand for liquidity and diversification within private markets.
Stableton specialises in direct secondaries, a niche within private markets that enables investors to acquire stakes in late-stage private companies. This model offers liquidity and access to high-growth opportunities typically reserved for institutional investors. Alta, formerly known as Fundnel, provides a digital platform connecting accredited investors to a range of private market deals, including venture capital, private equity, and alternative investments.
The collaboration will allow Stableton to introduce its curated offerings to Alta’s clientele across Asia, enhancing the region’s access to diversified VC opportunities. Alta has seen increasing demand this year from investors eager to participate in high impact ventures like, SpaceX, Stripe, xAI and OpenAI. Over the years, Alta raised a total funding of over US$150 million for SpaceX, and recently closed an additional US$15 million for the spacetech firm.
Meanwhile, Alta can tap into Stableton’s expertise in structured secondary solutions, adding value to its portfolio.
Stableton’s CEO Andreas Bezner says: “By leveraging Alta’s strong digital platform and Stableton’s expertise in pre-IPO secondaries, we’re not just widening the doors for investment—we’re setting a new standard for accessibility and liquidity in private markets. This is about providing investors, from institutional to individual, with opportunities that were previously out of reach and delivering impactful and flexible solutions.”
Alta’s co-founder and chief commercial officer Benjamin Twoon says: “This collaboration introduces a unique investment product akin to an Exchange Traded Fund, offering investors a diversified portfolio and fractional access to a carefully curated group of industry-leading, late-stage private companies. By combining innovation, efficiency, and a data-driven approach, we are advancing our mission to open doors for more investors to participate in this asset class with the same level of rigor, transparency, and diversification as institutional players."
