Investment Thesis

Anthemis believes investing is not a neutral act—it can either reinforce the status quo or spark transformative change. They deploy financial, human, and intellectual capital to architect a more equitable, sustainable, and human-centered digital economy. Their core conviction centers on the power of finance and investing to drive both profit and progress, viewing finance as the economy’s ‘nervous system’ that should work as an essential but subordinate contributor to society.

What Sets Them Apart

Mission-driven approach: investing to architect systemic economic change rather than pure financial returns
Principle-driven investing philosophy that explicitly rejects neutral positioning in markets
Commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusivity as core investment criteria
Ecosystem-building approach that brings together investors, entrepreneurs, incumbents, academics, and policymakers
Focus on 'virtuous cycle outcomes'—companies generating net positive impact on the world with non-zero sum mindsets
Team composed of founders, operators, investors, and industry experts providing multi-dimensional value
Emphasis on 'authentic collaboration' as an evolution rather than revolution in economic transformation
