Alter Management Fellowship

Alter Global

Alter finds and supports high-growth tech ventures in emerging markets. Our mission is to catalyze development by supporting visionary entrepreneurs. We find the top tech companies around the world that have the potential to create economic opportunity at scale. We support high-character founders that are not only building their companies, they’re defying all odds to build their countries and are inspiring others to do the same.

Alter was founded six years ago out of Stanford’s Graduate School of Business. Alter currently works with 27 ventures in countries across Asia, Africa, and Latin America, including Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Egypt, Nigeria, Pakistan, Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil. Since 2015, our ventures have created 2,334 jobs, now generate est. annual revenues of $492M+, and serve 2M+ customers.

Alter Fellowship Program

The Alter Fellowship Program is designed to provide professionals with the opportunity to work at one of our high-growth tech ventures in an emerging market around the world. Alter selects these companies because they are at the forefront of technological and business innovation in their respective market environments. Fellows will be completely embedded in the venture's team at their headquarters in Indonesia, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Brazil, Mexico, Egypt, Nigeria, or Colombia.

The application deadline is November 22, 2022 — the earlier you apply, the better! The Alter Orientation for the Spring Cohort will take place March 16-18th, 2023 (location TBD) and first day with the ventures is March 27, 2023.

Please see our brochure for the Alter Fellowship Program for more insight and info.
