Ankh Impact Ventures is an early-stage impact investment platform empowering women founders with catalytic capital and global networks to create lasting change. We back founders at the earliest stages — combining strategic capital with 6,000+ introductions, 75+ C-level global advisors, and a founder-first approach that unlocks growth, follow-on funding, and measurable impact.
Our Three-Pillar Approach:
1. Take Global Action Now – We tackle pressing interlinked societal challenges across six strategic areas: Inclusive Digital Economy, Sustainable Consumption, Climate Tech & Smart Cities, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Arts & Culture Tech, and Quantum Technologies.
2. Empower Diverse Perspectives – Using a gender investment lens, we invest in women-led entrepreneurs & startups, emerging VC funds, incubators & accelerators, and academic/research institutions.
3. Leverage Science for Impact – We measure impact through concrete metrics including carbon footprint, inclusion & diversity, corporate policy, circular economy practices, cybersecurity & data governance, and staff wellbeing.
Why Women Founders:
Despite receiving just 2.3% of global VC capital, women-founded startups generate 10% more revenue over five years, are 25% more likely to outperform average EBIT margins, and build more inclusive cultures that hire 2.5 times more women employees.
Beyond Capital:
AIV provides more than funding — we activate a synergistic global ecosystem connecting 35+ portfolio companies with our International Advisory Council, strategic partners, and a dedicated founder community platform. Our track record includes enabling successful exits, strategic partnerships, and meaningful social impact across sectors from fashion technology to bioelectronic medicine.
Founded in 2020 by Pierre N. Rolin, AIV operates with a philanthro-capitalist model that bridges venture returns with sustainable social impact, investing globally to ensure access to capital for all agents of change.
