Alta has facilitated over $600 million dollars in over 1,500 transactions, including investments into SpaceX, Grab, and Gojek.

On this episode of Open for Business, you will hear about what inspired this venture, the experience of building this sizable alternative asset exchange, and the business opportunity that lies here with Kelvin Lee, Co-Founder and CEO of Alta.
