We created Anthesis Ventures to maximise and accelerate our impact by investing in or partnering with early-to-growth stage companies that share our purpose and vision for a more productive and resilient world.
Anthesis Ventures serves as an additional connection point between the market and our client base, positioned alongside the implementation phase of our Activator journey. Through our extensive ecosystem we provide start-ups access to our subject matter experts, extended networks of partners, connections, investors and impact capital, and crucially a path to meaningful engagement with our 800+ global clients offering start-ups the scale and track record they need to grow. Without the limitations of a traditional consulting model, we can achieve the positive impacts we seek.
Why now?
The United Nations (UN) is calling the next ten years the decisive decade, with ambitious action needed to deliver sustainable development. The frantic pace of this action demands more from business. Anthesis Ventures provides our clients with a new vantage point on sustainable innovation, greater accessibility to companies that can solve some of their biggest challenges and a framework by which to unlock financial, environmental and social value. Companies we invest in or partner with, must create stakeholder value across all forms of capital and contribute to the advancement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
” We’ve entered a critical ten year period for the planet and society. Alongside our advisory role working with many of the world’s largest organisations, we are now taking the opportunity to support early-to-growth stage companies rapidly scale to enable the transition to a clean and sustainable economy.“
