What is AENU?

AENU is an investment fund that operates beyond the traditional system of venture capital, aiming to redefine the rules for the benefit of stakeholders, which include founders, investors, and most importantly, the planet and society at large. With a focus on CleanTech, Impact, Logistics and Distribution, and Mobility, AENU invests in companies that align with its mission of delivering high returns while also achieving high impact. The fund has set a minimum investment of $100,000 and a maximum of $5,000,000, with a preferred investment 'sweet spot' of $1,500,000.

Specializing in Pre-seed, Seed, and Series A stages, AENU manages assets worth $100,000,000. Their investment philosophy is underpinned by a long-term, 30-year roadmap that seeks to drive systemic transformation within the venture capital space.

AENU's culture embodies values such as being impact-driven, trusted, collaborative, and bold, demonstrating their commitment to leading transformative change. The AENU team consists of individuals who are not only experienced investors but also committed activists and born entrepreneurs. Founder & CEO Fabian Heilemann, along with an extensive team of partners, principals, and specialists, including Partner Siobhan Brewster, bring a wealth of knowledge and dedication to the fund's mission.

AENU also demonstrates its values through support from 'ambassadors' who are champions of controlled risk-taking, exemplified by big-wave surfers Sebastian Steudtner and Maya Gabeira.

Besides investing, AENU provides a support ecosystem to portfolio companies, with a network that includes venture partners like Lawrence Leuschner and advisors from diverse backgrounds, contributing to an environment fostering innovation and impact in alignment with their vision for progressive change in venture capital.
