Alante Capital is launching the first in a series of funds which will invest in clean technology companies, emerging ethical fashion brands, & sustainable inputs that radically improve the production of apparel, leaving lasting positive impacts on people & the planet. At Alante, we invest in innovative companies along the apparel supply chain from the field to the rack & connect them to retailers & established brands looking to increase the sustainability of their businesses. We seek out high- quality, early-stage companies solving critical issues in production that operate in Latin America & the United States of America. We tailor financing to meet the needs of the companies & the fund's investors by deploying various types of growth capital that maximize returns & allows for early distributions.We work with established brands to understand the barriers & challenges of scaling sustainable production. This informs our investment criteria & helps us to select the best-in-class companies to invest in & scale. Facilitating small-batch purchase orders, campaigns, & partnerships, Alante brings stakeholders together to scale innovations in supply chain reform. These partnerships enable established brands to test & adopt ways to decrease their water footprint or carbon emissions, source natural or recycled fibers, adopt a closed-loop waste recovery program, improve transparency, or support quality job creation across their value chain.Over the past decade, clothing prices have hit record lows, while production has increased dramatically, resulting in huge costs to people & the planet. The challenges of managing opaque supply chains have allowed for forced labor, unsafe working conditions & toxic dumping to be outcomes of the clothes we wear.Companies are now actively working to create safer, cleaner, & more sustainable supply chains.We intend to help them do it.
