OUR MISSION

Our mission is to bring clarity to technology and AI usage.

Alta gives finance, operations, and IT teams a trusted system of record for technology and AI usage—so they can govern spend, forecast confidently, and make better decisions.

Founder's Story

Vanessa began her career at Ernst & Young, working on IT audits and cybersecurity assessments. She kept seeing the same challenge: companies couldn’t clearly track what technology they had, how it was used across teams, or what they were really spending. Information lived in scattered spreadsheets, and planning was often guesswork.

Years later, working in Big Tech, the problem hadn’t changed, just the scale.

Seeing how persistent it was (and how much AI could help), Vanessa decided to build the solution herself. She taught herself to code, spoke with leaders facing the same pain, and built the first Alta prototype.

That early prototype—built alongside a talented team—became Alta today: a thoughtfully designed platform that gives finance, operations, and IT teams a clear, complete view of their technology spend across SaaS, cloud, data centers, and employee hardware.

The name “Alta meanshigh” in Spanish —a nod to Vanessa’s roots as a Latina and daughter of immigrants,
and to what teams need most: a high-level, holistic view.

Alta's values

Trust

We earn trust through transparency, security, and doing what we say we’ll do—consistently. Our customers rely on us with critical data and decisions, and we take that responsibility seriously.

Intentionality

We build with purpose. Every feature, decision, and partnership is guided by clear outcomes, thoughtful execution, and long-term impact—not shortcuts or hype.

Customer Centric Craftmanship

We sweat the details so our customers don’t have to. From product design to support, we focus on building software that’s intuitive, reliable, and genuinely useful in real-world operations.

Respect

Respect is our baseline, and we lead with it in every decision. We believe great work comes from honoring different perspectives, needs, and life experiences across our customers, our partners and our team.

Investors & Accelerators

Backing the future of technology & investment

Alta is supported by investors and accelerators who believe in solving complex, enterprise-critical problems for the long term.
