About Us

Built by a founder.
For founders.

Altarra Partners was founded by Michelle Feuerstein after a career of building, scaling, and selling companies, her own and her clients'. The firm exists to be the kind of advisor she spent years searching for. One relationship that brings every right answer with it, instead of a roster of disconnected specialists.

Most founders don't have the luxury of a single trusted advisor. They have a bookkeeper who does the books, a CPA who does the taxes, a lawyer who drafts contracts, a banker who pitches loans, and no one strategic enough to look at the whole picture. By the time a real decision arrives, a capital raise, a key hire, an offer to sell, they're left to figure it out alone. Altarra is built to be the firm that's already there when those moments come.

Altarra holds itself to the standards Michelle set for the firms she once hired, and the lessons she learned when they fell short. Senior counsel. Selective engagements. Accountable to the work, not the contract.

The decisions that bring founders to Altarra

Preparing for Capital

The months before a raise matter more than the conversation itself. Altarra builds the financial story, projections, and operational readiness that turn a pitch into a term sheet and a term sheet into the right deal.

Stepping into the financial seat

For founders who have outgrown their bookkeeper but aren't ready for a full-time CFO. Altarra brings senior financial leadership on a fractional basis strategic planning, reporting, forecasting, and the discipline of running a real finance function.

Building toward an exit

The valuation a founder receives is the result of years of preparation. Altarra works alongside founders well before any conversation with a buyer, building the financial maturity and operational independence that command a premium multiple.

Advisor through the transaction

When a founder is in active conversations with buyers or investors, the decisions move fast and the stakes are permanent. Altarra provides senior counsel through diligence, negotiation, and closing - making sure the deal that gets done is the right one.
How we work

One relationship. Every decision. Whatever comes next.

Founders don't have time to assemble their own team of advisors by vetting capital partners, evaluating CFO firms, finding the right legal counsel, and coordinating among them. Altarra is built to be the relationship that does that work for them. You hire Altarra. We bring the right people, the right counsel, and the right experience to every decision in front of you.

What happens when you reach out
You book a call.
We talk through what's in front of you.
The decision, the timing, the pressure.
We come back with what we'd recommend.
Sometimes that's working with us.
Sometimes it isn't.
If it's a fit, we get to work.
