About iMATCHATIVE
iMATCHATIVE, operating under the brand AltX, was a financial technology firm that provided a sophisticated intelligence platform for the alternative investment market. Founded in October 2012 by Sam Hocking, a seasoned financial industry executive, the company aimed to transform the capital introduction process between hedge funds and investors. Hocking's extensive background in prime brokerage at institutions like Bank of America and BNP Paribas revealed the inefficiencies in how investors discovered and evaluated funds, inspiring him to create a technology-driven solution.
The company's core product, the AltX platform, functioned as a two-sided marketplace and data analytics tool. It served a diverse client base of investment professionals, including those from hedge funds, pension funds, endowments, and family offices. The business model was based on a licensing fee, where investors paid for access to the platform's comprehensive search and monitoring engine, and hedge funds paid a fee to be featured. AltX's primary goal was to make the matching of capital with investment opportunities more efficient and transparent.
The AltX platform aggregated vast amounts of data from varied sources, including regulatory filings, real-time news, and financial statistics. It distinguished itself by combining this traditional data with behavioral science, proprietary algorithms, and relationship mapping. This unique approach allowed the platform to analyze not just financial metrics but also factors like the behavioral profiles of fund managers to predict compatible and sustainable investment relationships. By automating due diligence and offering deeper insights, the platform enabled users to save time, reduce costs, and make more informed investment decisions. The company secured significant funding to fuel its growth, including a $7.26M Series A round in 2013 and a $20M Series B round in 2014, with prominent investors such as Wells Fargo, Carlos Slim, and David Bonderman. iMATCHATIVE was ultimately acquired by Addepar in May 2017.
