What is Altus?
Deriving from the Latin word for height, Altus is a student-run startup accelerator helping founders achieve growth that would otherwise be out of reach. Tapping into student talent, we help solo-preneurs and early-stage startups get off the ground.
What Makes Us Different
We serve a dual purpose as an startup accelerator and student-led strategic advisory organization. Our work is direct, collaborative, and relentlessly ambitious.
We offer entrepreneurial experience directly to students, without any unnecessary risk. All of our analysts work directly with founders as team members for the semester.
Our main focus is in execution; with analysts getting the chance to learn firsthand how startups grow instead of simply making presentations. We provide them the unpredictability of startup culture but also rigorous training to improve their business acumen.
“Dreamers, like eagles, say nothing but conquer the skies.”
