About Allocate:

We founded Allocate with the simple mission of making investing in top-tier private alternatives within the technology sector more accessible for a broader set of investors.

We believe that the mark of healthy and efficient markets requires the financial inclusion of all qualified market participants.

However, despite significant demand, investing in private technology-focused alternatives is more complex than ever as discovery, investment diligence, and selection, access, and deal execution all serve as substantial roadblocks.
