The Desk · By introduction

Finding it is the easy part. Knowing who is selling it is not.

Tell the Desk what you are looking for. We source it, including things that are not publicly listed, we check who is on the other side, and we introduce you. Where a booking is what you need instead, we arrange that.

The friction

Anyone can find the asset. What you cannot easily find out is whether the party selling it is who they say they are, and by the time the wire has left, it is too late to ask.

The Desk

We source it, we check who is on the other side, and we introduce you. You deal with them directly and you pay them directly. What can be evidenced, we evidence before you commit.

  1. 01 You brief us. One message. What you are after, and roughly when.
  2. 02 We source it, and check the seller. Who they are, whether the entity is real, and what can be evidenced before you commit.
  3. 03 We introduce you. From there it is your transaction. We stay available, and stay out of the payment.
Who is behind the Desk

The Desk is run by the team that ran Pocketlife, the first members' concierge club in Switzerland, serving clients from Switzerland and Dubai.

How we are paid: an introduction commission, normally from the seller's or the provider's side. You are told before an introduction is made, never after. Alpine Gate does not give investment, legal or tax advice, and nothing here is an offer.

Our commitment to privacy

We do not publish client names. We do not disclose who we work with. Nothing you send the Desk is shared outside it without your agreement, and no request becomes a case study.

The fact that you cannot find our client list is the point.

How you reach us

An introduction is the usual route, and the fastest one. If you have not been introduced, tell us who you are and we will take it from there.

We check who we are introducing, in both directions. It is the reason a merchant takes our call, and the reason you can rely on the one we make for you.

Write to the Desk.

Kept in confidence. Read by one person. Answered within one business day.

Add anything that speeds this up · optional

We check who we are introducing, in both directions. A registered entity, a regulated intermediary or a referral is enough. It is the reason a merchant takes our call, and answering it now saves a round trip. We will ask if you leave it.
