Stableton chooses fundcraft’s digital fund operations to transform private market investing

SWITZERLAND, [7 January 2025] – Stableton, a leader in VC direct secondaries and an award-winning growth equity fintech platform, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Alta, Asia’s leading digital securities exchange for alternative assets.

This collaboration aims to expand investor access to high-growth, late-stage private companies, meeting the surging demand for liquidity and diversification within private markets. With more than 1,300 unicorns redefining the industry landscape, substantial value has emerged over recent years. This wave of rapid growth, alongside the advent of sophisticated data providers and enhanced liquidity for the most valuable unicorns, has set the stage for Stableton to unveil the world’s first strategy of its kind, now accessible via Alta. This pioneering strategy delivers investors unparalleled, cost-effective access to a systematic investment approach focused on the world’s Top 20 unicorns, spanning industries including artificial intelligence, fintech, and aerospace.

“This growth reflects a significant shift in how investors are approaching private market opportunities, seeking more flexible and transparent solutions,” said Wei He, Head of Investments at Stableton. Alta has demonstrated its capabilities with a track record of over US$53 billion in mandated transactions and more than US$700 million successfully raised for private companies and funds, positioning it as a transformative player in the alternative investment landscape.

Stableton’s experience with over 100 transactions, a network of more than 100 sourcing partners, and robust technology- and data-driven investment processes enable its investors to access the leading private technology stocks in one portfolio. The combination of Stableton's unique investment strategy and Alta, which features over 35,000 direct investor accounts and partnerships with more than 100 financial institutions, promises to elevate accessibility in private markets.

"Partnering with Stableton marks a pivotal step in our mission to democratize access to high-growth, late-stage private companies for our global investor community," said Benjamin Twoon, Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Officer of Alta. "Through this collaboration, we are excited to provide investors with a unique opportunity to tap into some of the world’s most transformative unicorns with an efficient, data-driven investment approach, the first of its kind. Together, we aim to enable more investors to diversify their portfolios with the same rigor and transparency as the most sophisticated institutional players."

Andreas Bezner, CEO and Co-Founder of Stableton, remarked: ”Partnering with Alta represents a significant step forward in our mission to provide superior access to growth equity investments. By leveraging Alta’s strong digital platform and Stableton’s expertise in pre-IPO secondaries, we’re not just widening the doors for investment—we’re setting a new standard for accessibility and liquidity in private markets. This is about providing investors, from institutional to individual, with opportunities that were previously out of reach and delivering impactful and flexible solutions.”

The global unicorn market, valued at $4.7 trillion, continues to show strong investment potential. Alta is committed to tackling the challenge of private market illiquidity with its accessible, efficient, and secure exchange platform. Alta has seen increasing demand from investors eager to participate in high-impact ventures like, SpaceX, Stripe, Anthropic, and OpenAI, successfully raising a total funding of US$150 million, including a recent US$15 million raise for SpaceX.

Alta’s technology-powered initiatives are transforming the financial landscape by empowering a diverse array of investors to engage in alternative investments and the firm believes that broadening access to capital markets is crucial for fostering sustainable growth and generating new opportunities for communities globally. In acknowledgment of those efforts, Alta has recently been named as a 2024 Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum.

Konstantin Heiermann, COO and Co-Founder of Stableton, shared insights on the operational benefits of the partnership: “This collaboration with Alta not only broadens our geographical reach but also brings a new level of efficiency and scale to our distribution. This partnership marks an important evolution in how investors engage with private markets, making access more seamless, transparent, and aligned with modern expectations.”

This partnership aims to foster a more dynamic investment ecosystem where technology and strategic alliances facilitate the flow of capital into high-potential, late-stage private companies.

Together, Stableton and Alta are committed to bridging the gap between traditional investment barriers and forward-thinking solutions, making pre-IPO investments more attainable and impactful for a broader audience of global investors.
