At Alturas, we’ve created a challenging, fun and engaging performance-based culture. We live by the philosophy of “undereducated overachievers” and have a bias toward action. Don’t tell us you’re going to do it. Just do it!
Our competitive advantage is our people. We know that the individuals that make up our team are the key to our success, and we’re committed to attracting and retaining top talent. We hire awesome people that are looking to tackle huge challenges.
Our Founder
Blake Hansen has been fascinated with investing and business since he can remember. He made his first investment in the stock market at age 12, and before he had graduated college, he had already purchased 10 real estate properties. His passion is developing partnerships to start and scale companies, and that passion is what led to the formation of Alturas.
Entrepreneurship came naturally for Blake, and he’ll be the first one to tell you he has always struggled with authority. “Conventional” or “status quo” is unacceptable to him and he’s constantly looking for better ways of doing things. And this mentality has trickled down throughout the organization.
Alturas, and everything Blake does, is built on a foundation of partnerships. He started his life with his Twin sister, who was born 9 minutes after him. As a twin, he got used to sharing and having a built in partner to do everything. Continuing into the business world, every business he started and/or scaled had been in partnership with someone else.
His key partner in life is his wife, Kim. They grew up in the same neighborhood and attended pre school together at age 3 (standing next to each other in the class photo). They have six amazing children and spend their time skiing, hiking, camping, whitewater rafting, fly-fishing and doing all types of activities together as a family.
