Alt Future

What Alt Future does

Alt Future is a New York-based consulting studio founded in 2024 by Detria Williamson and Rori DuBoff, both former Managing Directors at Accenture and previously senior executives at IDEO and TBWA\Chiat\Day respectively. The firm operates as a solutions-focused consultancy targeting enterprise clients and offers five interconnected service modules: Horizon Scans (identifying emerging technological, social, and economic shifts), Ecosystem Frameworks (mapping stakeholders and dynamics within an industry), Future Maps & Adjacent Strategies (creating actionable roadmaps), Prototypes (ranging from conceptual models to functional pilots and simulations), and AI Procure (recommending AI partners and custom solutions aligned with a future-first, ecosystem-centric approach).

The business model is professional services–based, with revenue generated through bespoke strategic consulting engagements priced on a quote basis and tailored to each client's scope. The firm employs an enterprise field sales motion, engaging directly with C-suite executives at large corporations. Headcount is reported at 1-10 employees with the two co-founders as the only confirmed personnel. The website displays Fortune 500 logos including Emirates, Nike, Microsoft, Discovery, AT&T, Meta, Verizon, Ford, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, DuPont, Pfizer, LG, Comcast, Unilever, and IKEA under the heading 'We've had a hand in some amazing projects', which appear to reflect the founders' prior work at larger firms rather than confirmed current Alt Future engagements.

No proprietary technology platform, AI models, patents, funding rounds, or institutional investors are disclosed. The firm's underlying intellectual property is concentrated in its codified service frameworks and the founders' combined 25+ years of experience in strategy, creative innovation, and digital transformation.
