AltsAxis Launches Alternative Investment Platform

AltsAxis has launched a proprietary mobile technology ecosystem that it said connects all parties across the alternative investment industry on one centralized platform.

The company is led by a veteran team of experts with decades of experience in the alternative investment sector, including Mark Salameh, co-founder and former CEO of Context Summits. AltsAxis was formed to “fill the unmet need for a one-stop shop where family offices and institutional allocators can find unconflicted, real-time data on alternative asset managers, and fulfill all their sourcing requirements for these asset classes,” it said.

The proprietary AltsAxis solution initially includes: the AXIS Platform, serving as a one-stop shop where family offices, pensions, endowments, foundations and other institutional investors allocating to alternative investments can securely access up-to-date data on a wide range of alternative strategies and managers; and a proprietary social network that it said “enables allocators and managers to securely foster relationships and share information on an ongoing basis — from the convenience of their hand-held devices.”

Starting in the fall, LiveAxis, the events offering of AltsAxis, will host in-person events to complement the AXIS platform, it said.

Mammoth Scientific Launches Venture Capital Fund

Mammoth Scientific, a health science and technology venture capital firm, announced the launch of a $100 million venture capital fund.

“Mammoth’s competitive edge comes from its creation of venture capital investment pathways for the highly underserved RIA advisory market,” it said. The U.S. RIA market manages more than $5.7 trillion, but it has “historically been hindered from providing venture capital investments to clients due to regulatory challenges, uncertainty around risk and how to best engage clients,” it said.
