Aude Ventures

What they do

Aude Ventures is the private investment arm of Thomas Annicq, an MIT Sloan alumnus, former Bain consultant, and serial entrepreneur (Thasos Group, Quantified Labs, Oneshot.earth). The firm is positioned as a highly thesis-driven angel vehicle that seeks out entrepreneurs applying a systems-thinking approach to complex global challenges. It is distinctive for its explicit rejection of surveillance capitalism, instead championing technologies where humanity is the primary beneficiary. In the ecosystem, Aude Ventures is closely associated with European and US impact investing circles, notably through Annicq's active membership in PYMWYMIC (Put Your Money Where Your Meaning Is Community).

What they look for

Aude Ventures invests in systems-thinking entrepreneurs developing technologies that prioritize humanity as the beneficiary and support post-surveillance business models. The firm explicitly seeks founders who use a "system dynamics lens" to solve complex problems. They look for business models that do not rely on the exploitation of user data. Given the founder's deep involvement in climate tech, there is also a strong secondary focus on high-integrity climate impact, carbon markets, and sustainability.
