About Us

  • Ants build together—strategically, efficiently, and with collective strength. We chose the name to reflect how our model empowers companies to co-invest, move with purpose, and build more than they could alone.

  • We help businesses access and invest in early-stage technology startups. As an extension of your team, we guide portfolio construction, support decision-making, and help you invest without the cost or complexity of building a venture arm.

  • We work with mid-market to large enterprises in essential industries like healthcare, construction, logistics, and manufacturing—typically without formal venture structures. Most of our clients invest between $500K and $5 million per year.

  • In a crowded venture landscape, we help you focus. We filter what matters, amplify what’s relevant, and give your team a clear, strategic path into startup investing.

  • We are not investment advisors—we don’t take commissions or fees tied to investment amounts. Instead, we work on a flat-fee structure, offering independent support and execution to help you invest with clarity and control.
