Miami-based Allocations is riding the wave of interest in alternative investments. Less than three years after it was founded, the company has crossed $1 billion in assets under administration on its platform, according to its CEO and founder.
The company has raised $5 million in funding and a valuation of $150 million. The company says it has raised $12 million so far.
According to Advani, the company had a revenue run rate of $6.25 million in July, which is up from $4.7 million in June.

Advani realized that none of the tools available to him at the time could help him spin up funds quickly enough to stay competitive in the increasingly fast-paced private markets, so he started Allocations. Fund managers can raise capital from a single investment from pooled sources with the help of allocation's core products. At a time when venture investors are leaving their firms to start their own funds, Allocations' value prop looks more attractive.
Advani said that its customers are asset managers looking to offer these alternative investment opportunities to their private wealth clients, who tend to be high net worth individuals. Retail investors will continue to show strong demand for alternative asset classes that have traditionally been dominated by institutions, according to the company.
Thousands of private wealth clients are represented by a broad range of managers, from family offices to angel investment groups. Vitalize Venture Group is listed on the website as a customer. He said that the startup is in talks with some of the larger platforms to provide fund administration support.
Managers can offer their clients lower investment minimums if they use Allocations.
If you want to invest in alternative assets, you can have any minimum you want. He believes that the world's smallestSPV is an African startup that has $10,000 in total investment.

The mission of broadening access is dependent on lowering check sizes. KKR made headlines earlier this week when it decided to tokenize part of one of its funds, which it said would allow it to take less money from investors. Without finding ways to make fund administration more efficient, it's not worth a manager's time to take in a small check.
Advani plans to double down on the firm'sAPI offerings, which he said are a huge step up in terms of the level of automation they offer compared to popular legacy software systems.
Advani said that the most interest they have been getting is from asset managers that need more automation. As the products evolve, he hopes to allow for more personalization of funds.
Advani said that Allocations is in the early stages of exploring aBlockchain offering as he thinks the technology can help streamline fund administration.
According to Advani, there are $13 trillion in alternative assets under management in the world. A lot of the requirements are grouped together. You can open up a lot of capital markets if you can put it on-chain.
