Altimeter Capital
Altimeter Capital is a technology-focused investment firm founded in 2008 by Brad Gerstner in Boston, Massachusetts, launched during the financial crisis with less than $3 million from friends and family. Headquartered in both Boston, MA and Menlo Park, CA (on Sand Hill Road), Altimeter runs a life-cycle crossover platform that backs technology companies from early stage through IPO and beyond: it manages a long/short public equity fund investing in technology companies alongside private growth equity funds targeting both early- and later-stage tech ventures. Brad Gerstner, founder, chairman and CEO, looks for platforms rather than products - businesses with network effects, expanding margins, and leaders who can adapt and scale - and has been a vocal proponent of an AI "supercycle" driven by accelerated computing and data-center demand. Altimeter also sponsored two SPACs (Altimeter Growth Corp, which merged with Grab, and Altimeter Growth Corp 2). Notable private and pre-IPO investments include Snowflake, Confluent, Okta, UiPath, GitLab, Unity, Roblox, SoFi, Plaid, ByteDance, Epic Games, dbt Labs, Baseten, and Anthropic. Reported assets under management have ranged from roughly $6.75B (Sep 2024) to higher figures across sources; Altimeter self-describes as "a technology-focused investment firm built by a founder for founders."
Altimeter Capital is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Altimeter Capital is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
