The Fallen Angels Fund rescues stalled venture-backed companies by moving their best assets into a clean AngelCo LLC and applying a disciplined turnaround system to restart growth and profit distributions. By aligning preferred investors, founders, and key stakeholders around a clear recovery path—combining a structured paydown mechanism with shared upside and a portfolio-level backstop—we reduce drift, preserve dignity, and create a practical, win-win way to turn “likely 0x” outcomes into credible returns.

The LEARN System™ is Altura’s repeatable recovery playbook for relaunching stalled companies: we Listen to learn what’s truly working and what’s stuck, Envision the simplest high-leverage path forward, Align stakeholders around one executable plan, Relaunch the product and go-to-market with a lean reset, and Navigate the company toward sustainable profitability and distributable cash—so progress is measurable and wins happen along the way.

A free initial consultation with Lee Lorenzen is a quick, practical conversation to evaluate whether a company is a good fit for the Fallen Angels Fund and whether the LEARN System™ is the right path forward. Lee and his team will listen to your situation, identify what assets still have leverage, clarify the real bottlenecks (capital, cap table, GTM, cost structure, leadership, or positioning), and outline a clear next-step recovery plan—so you leave with clarity on options, likely outcomes, and whether an AngelCo relaunch makes sense.
A guided journey where your startup can quickly get to profitability.


With Altura’s Fallen Angels Fund™ and the LEARN System™, you can avoid the slow, expensive drift that turns a once-promising startup into a quiet shutdown. Our process helps you sidestep the dead ends of “follow-on limbo,” cap-table paralysis, and endless runway burn by resetting focus, rebuilding the go-to-market, and creating a credible path back to distributable cash. Most importantly, we help you avoid the outcome where everyone loses—preferred gets 0x, founders and employees get wiped out, and valuable assets die on the vine.
