Description

What makes Ananda special is that they have been supporting, over the last 13 years, high-social impact projects across Europe. They have deployed €200m to back startups that employ people with original and sometimes complex backgrounds, train them, and provide purposeful job opportunities. We discussed a some of them.


- Turning disabilities into superpowers with robotic prostheses (Open Bionics)

- Bringing the skills of autistic people into the IT sector (Auticon)

- Addressing the global mental health crisis with digital therapy (IESO)


Ananda is first and foremost a human adventure. So when Florian agreed to tell me about its humble beginnings, I listened.

It all started with a "road trip" across Germany to find social entrepreneurs. 12 years ago my peers from Venture Capital asked "what are you doing, can you live from this, are you sure, this is not VC" now they call me for advice about impact investing, I think the perception turned 180 degrees.
