Company research
Public company, workplace, funding, and market signals
Updated Jul 30, 2026
Overview
Altur is a Mexico City-based, YC-backed AI voice-agent platform for debt collection and banking sales. It automates outbound contact, negotiation, and follow-up over phone, WhatsApp, and SMS using its own telephony and compliance tooling. Public profiles conflict on founding year (2022 vs. 2023), so I use 2022 here.
