Alt

We run a platform for alternative assets, primarily collectible trading cards. We offer services to buy, sell, value, and store cards securely. Buyers can use our Fixed Price marketplace or weekly Alt Auctions. We curate the cards for auction. You can search across all our marketplaces and get listing updates.

Sellers can reach a global audience. We offer guaranteed cash advances for cards over $250 submitted to Alt Auctions, allow listing across multiple marketplaces, and provide fast payouts. Our additional services include the Alt Vault for secure storage and Alt Lending, where users can borrow cash against their cards.

We also provide research tools: Alt Value, which values over 10 million cards using market data; Instant Pricer for real-time valuation of graded cards from a photo; Market Trends to track market movements; and Portfolio Tracking for real-time collection value.

We were founded in 2020 and launched in March 2021 with $31 million in funding. We raised an additional $75 million in Series B funding in November 2021. Our investors include 776, First Round Capital, Addition Ventures, Vibe Capital, Breyer Capital, Shrug Capital, Apollo Projects, and Hyperguap, A*. Professional athletes like Kevin Durant, Larry Fitzgerald, Tobias Harris, Tom Brady, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Alex Morgan, Candace Parker, and Marlon Humphrey also invested.

Our mission is to unlock the value of alternative assets and change how collectibles are sold. We envision a world where everything can be an investment.

Our values are:

• Grit: We break down walls to achieve our goals.
• Be an owner: We approach problems looking for solutions.
• Share the why: We ensure everyone understands our goals and empower our colleagues.
• Customer empathy: We build products with an exceptional user experience.
• Level up: We always strive to improve our skills and embrace growth.

We are a remote-first company, staying connected through our shared values. Our culture emphasizes autonomy, ownership, and clear financial communication.

We are committed to building and keeping a diverse team. We support employee career growth by acknowledging individual aspirations and creating actionable plans. Employees describe our environment as fast-paced and ambitious, similar to a zero-to-one startup.
