Where capital meets imagination.
Based in Canada and Switzerland. Built for the world.
From Toronto roots to a global vision
Founded by Taimour Zaman, AltFunds Global exists to make alternative capital accessible, structured, and secure for serious decision-makers worldwide. We are a digitally native consulting firm — no glass towers, no marble lobbies — collaborating with 11,000+ lenders, family offices, and PE firms across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America.
A few kind words from people we serve
Taimour distinguishes himself from most by his deep connection to his network and his willingness to help. He is also a master at developing complex financing solutions, no matter the problem, he will likely find a solution. I couldn't recommend Taimour any more strongly.
Three principles. Non-negotiable.
Capital should flow to bold ideas
Not just legacy connections. Every credible project deserves access to the right structure — regardless of geography or pedigree.
Alternative finance should be transparent
No hidden fees. Every engagement under NDA, with full KYC/AML compliance.
Credibility is earned through clarity
We tell you what we can do, what we can't, and what it will take — on the first call.
