What ALTALLO does

ALTALLO, a trading name of Argyll and Buchanan Limited (a Scottish private limited company founded 2024 and headquartered at Clyde Offices, 48 West George Street, Glasgow), operates a two-sided community platform that connects institutional investment funds with specialist service providers in the alternatives industry. The fund side (hedge funds, private equity, venture capital, private credit, and family offices) joins free and browses a curated network of 70+ specialist providers anonymously across categories including fund administration, prime brokerage, compliance, legal, technology, data, and cybersecurity. The provider side pays subscription fees to be discovered, with Network Membership at £124/month billed annually at £1,490/year, and a lower-fee Network Access tier (£99/month or £990/year) for adjacent industries that only want to browse.

The platform is built around eight integrated modules: the Network directory, ALTALLO Intelligence (a standalone data product mapping 120,000+ fund-to-provider relationships across 12,000+ SEC-registered managers from Form ADV, ADV Schedule D, and N-CEN filings, refreshed monthly, sold from £300/month), Find What You Need (a private intake service), the Emerging Manager Programme (a vetted provider shortlist for smaller funds), Ask an Expert (direct access to 18 named senior operators), ALTALLO Insights (44 perspectives, a weekly digest, and 18 resource guides), Events (a 100+ event calendar plus co-hosted programming with EventRock), and the Human Capital Hub (a recruitment and HR content surface with a curated jobs board). Distribution is fully self-serve and product-led via Stripe and GoCardless checkout, with no field sales or channel partners. The company employs 1-10 people, operates from Glasgow, London, New York, and Zurich, and is privately held with no disclosed external funding.
