How We’re Different
Two-Sided Network vs. OSINT Database
01
knowing about an LP vs. having them on the platform
Altss builds LP profiles from the outside in: public filings, registries, open-source records. iConnections has those LPs on the inside: allocators manage their own profiles, browse managers by strategy, and schedule meetings. An LP who downloads your deck Thursday is live intent, not an OSINT signal.
“iConnections puts the right LPs in one place and makes it easy to have focused, pre-qualified conversations that would normally take months to set up.”
GP Survey
02
LP-initiated vs. GP-initiated
On Altss, the GP does the work: research LPs, build a list, initiate outreach. On iConnections, nearly half of Live Experience meetings are allocator-initiated: LPs search for managers matching their mandates and request meetings on their own terms. That is a structural difference, not a marketing claim.
“iConnections provides a year-round, highly efficient digital platform connecting us directly with qualified LPs for targeted discovery, meeting booking, and relationship nurturing.”

First-party relationship data vs. open-source intelligence
iConnections captures meeting outcomes, downloads, and profile views as they happen: first-party behavioral data that powers our AI matching. Altss uses OSINT to build profiles at scale, re-verified every 30 days. OSINT captures what is publicly observable. iConnections captures what is happening now.
“The structured meeting format enables meaningful, decision-oriented conversations that would otherwise take months to coordinate.”

Where Altss Shines
What Altss Does Best
For GPs who need to build a target list of allocators they’ve never interacted with, Altss is a useful research tool. iConnections is where you go when you want those allocators to find you.
LP coverage breadth
Altss reports 1.5M+ verified contacts, 9,000+ family offices, and 150,000+ institutional LP entities.
OSINT methodology
Building LP profiles from public filings, registries, and verified records is a genuinely different approach.
Speed of iteration
As a newer platform (launched 2025), Altss has shipped features quickly, with transparent pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
iConnections is the LP-GP capital introduction platform used alongside or instead of LP intelligence databases for the engagement and meeting phase of fundraising. Altss excels at building OSINT-sourced LP lists for outbound prospecting. iConnections is where allocators are actively on the platform, managing their own profiles and initiating meetings. The two tools answer different questions: Altss tells you who exists, iConnections is where they engage.
Altss is an LP intelligence database designed to help users identify and research allocators. iConnections is a two-sided LP–GP capital introduction platform centered on active allocator participation, AI-assisted matching, and relationship-driven meetings. The platforms support different parts of the fundraising workflow.
Different sources, different strengths. Altss profiles are built from OSINT: public filings, registries, open-source records, re-verified every 30 days. iConnections LP profiles are managed by the allocators themselves, reflecting current mandates and interests in real time. Altss data is broader by design; iConnections data is deeper on the allocators actively participating on the platform.
Yes, and many of the strongest fundraising teams do. Altss is well-suited for top-of-funnel LP discovery: identifying family offices, RIAs, and institutional allocators you haven’t reached yet. iConnections is where you bring those targets into a structured engagement environment: schedule meetings, share documents, attend capital introduction events hosted by iConnections, and convert relationships into commitments.
