Vega, an alternative investment technology company founded by a team of former executives from leading hedge funds and private equity firms, announced the successful closing of a $20 million Series A led by Apollo and Motive. In addition, Vega has formed an enterprise-scale partnership with Apollo. These developments mark a significant milestone in Vega’s growth journey, as the company aims to become the industry’s leading operating system for alternative asset managers.
- Apollo and Motive led a $20 million Series A investment in Vega to scale its alternative asset manager client service technology platform – Vega AltOS – building on Vega’s $8 million seed investment from Motive, Picus Capital, Citi Ventures, and 60+ senior financial services executives.
- Apollo has become an enterprise-scale anchor client, using Vega AltOS to power its client services across its institutional, family office, and global wealth channels.
- Additionally, Apollo will contribute Edna, one of the largest alternative employee investment platforms in the market with more than $2 billion in employee AUM, into Vega.
“We have reached an inflection point where alternative asset managers now need their own operating system to power the industry’s next growth phase. We are thrilled to welcome Apollo as an enterprise-scale client and investor as we bring a new standard to the alternative asset management space,” said Alexis Augier, Founder & CEO at Vega.
“As an early-stage backer of Vega, and our extensive portfolio of WealthTech assets at Motive, we saw the need for a GP AltOS platform to help accelerate the alternatives distribution flywheel. Managers have been underserved to-date and Vega’s AltOS is critical to address this gap,” says Ramin Niroumand, Partner at Motive Ventures.
