Amathaon Capital's specialities extend across various stages of a company's growth, including Seed, Series A, Series B, and Pre-seed investments. Their investment thesis revolves around backing solutions addressing the significant challenges facing the food value chain, which is anticipated to experience disruption and shifts owing to regulation and global trends. With an integrated and synergetic portfolio strategy, they emphasize the importance of creating synergies between their portfolio companies. They offer hands-on advice, operational support, and access to their network in addition to capital. They aim to back radical long-term solutions and visionary founders who display a clear mission. The team comprises industry and subject matter experts, who unlike traditional financial investors, apply their industry knowledge and experience to supporting entrepreneurs. Amathaon Capital has set up with Saxovent, a like-minded partner looking to build a lasting foundation for entrepreneurs with a long-term investment strategy, focusing on investments that address agri-food supply chain cooperation and environmental considerations. They are selective in their partnerships, preferring companies with resilient teams, clear commercialization plans and who can benefit from their portfolio's synergies.
