AENU CREW
We are not here to fit into the system of VC. We are here to rewrite the VC rulebook for the benefit of our stakeholders: Founders, Investors, Planet and Society. We are here to deliver high returns with high impact. We execute against a 30-year roadmap to drive systemic transformation in VC. Our culture revolves around the following values: impact-driven, trusted, collaborative and bold. We lead the change – for others to follow.
