Althera42 introduces a new way to invest in technology royalties, bypassing high valuations. The fund, founded by finance executives, plans to invest in intellectual property in sectors like AI, defense, and health without taking equity. Companies can access capital through royalty investments without diluting equity or incurring rigid debt obligations.

Althera42 offers a unique approach by investing in founder-led technology companies with software at their core. The fund creates customized deals to receive a fixed percentage of the companies’ future revenue over several years. Althera42 combines the benefits of venture capital with the consistency of private debt, sharing gains with investors quarterly.

Targeting companies with annual revenue between $17 million and $117 million, Althera42 aims to establish technology royalties as a new asset class. The firm empowers companies to maintain control while accelerating their impact with capital support. Royalty investing spans industries like music, energy, and pharmaceuticals, aligning success with funded companies.

Major private equity firms have entered the music and energy royalties sectors, indicating significant market potential. Althera42 plans to raise $300 million for its first fund, focusing on deals in Europe and the U.K. with potential North American investments. The firm operates from offices in London and New York, aiming to revolutionize technology investments with the royalty model.
