About Altira Group

Altira Group is a Denver-based venture capital firm that has historically invested across specialized technology platforms, including complex energy and healthcare infrastructure. The healthcare exposure is concentrated in health IT and healthcare software. AI is not the explicit thesis. The combination of energy and healthcare in the same firm is unusual and reflects an orientation toward technically complex, infrastructure-style platforms rather than consumer software or clinical-evidence-driven plays.

Altira invests at Series A and Series B with check sizes of $5M to $25M. That positions the firm to lead or co-lead mid-stage rounds in software-shaped healthcare companies with meaningful early traction and a defensible technical or data position.

Founders should approach Altira Group when they are building a health IT or healthcare software platform with infrastructure-like characteristics — workflow systems, data platforms, integration layers — and ideally a Mountain West or Front Range presence. Consumer health, devices, biotech, and services are unlikely to fit. Because the firm has a generalist technical orientation rather than deep healthcare specialization, founders should be prepared to translate clinical and regulatory context into the kind of technical and commercial frame that an infrastructure investor would recognize. Expect questions about technical defensibility, customer concentration, and the path from regional traction to national scale. Bring a clear technical thesis and a pragmatic go-to-market plan.
