A number of companies that AltaIR funded at the seed stage achieved successful exits in the first half of 2015, resulting in significant profits for AltaIR investors.
PandaDoc – This web and mobile platform empowers businesses to create, deliver, and manage quotes, proposals, legal contracts, and other sales collateral. Documents can be assembled quickly and efficiently, saving on time and costs. We have great confidence in the company’s progress and prospects. Following its successful exit, it is now raising a new round of investment for the development of a bigger product line-up.
Guide Financial Inc. – The San Francisco based start-up provides software for financial advisors and private investors to help clients better manage their assets and make informed financial decisions. It was acquired by John Hancock, a division of Manulife, a leading Canada-based financial services group, who were impressed by Guide Financial’s innovative technology and thought leadership.
CarPrice – Founded in June 2014, CarPrice gained wide press coverage and has recently attracted $40 million in direct investment. This is a noteworthy achievement in the up-and-coming Russian start-up scene. The company acts as a market place for used vehicles, connecting thousands of dealers with car owners, and simplifying the evaluation and auction process. CarPrice currently conducts more than 4,000 auctions each month, and is aiming to increase that number to 10,000 by the end of 2015.
