Alt-X
Automation for institutional-grade financial modeling in Excel
What they do
Private market transactions are fragmented, illiquid, and slowed by manual, spreadsheet-driven workflows for diligence, valuation, and deal execution.
Alt-X uses AI automation to streamline private-asset diligence, valuation, investor matching, and transaction execution to enable liquidity in private markets.
Institutional investors and market participants in private markets, initially focused on venture-backed secondary buyers and sellers (founders, employees, early investors).
Founders
Ryan Samadi is the Co-Founder and CEO of Alt-X, building AI infrastructure for financial services. Before Alt-X, he worked at Citadel’s commodities fund. Ryan also studied Computer Science at Stanford, focusing on AI, where he also led a hedge-fund investing program. He founded Alt-X after seeing how even the most sophisticated investors still rely on Excel and manual analysis—and is now building the platform that will replace it.
I am Co-Founder and CTO at Alt-X, where I lead engineering and architecture to build AI infrastructure for private-market investing. I joined because I saw how much manual analysis and fragmented deal data slow down investment teams, and now I’m focused on rethinking how this industry works from the ground up.
