Anthemis Group was founded in 2010 as a fintech-focused investment and advisory firm that takes a unique approach by partnering directly with financial institutions to invest in and build transformative financial services companies. The firm operates as both an investor and strategic advisor, helping traditional financial institutions navigate digital transformation while backing innovative startups disrupting the sector. Led by partners including Amy Nauiokas and Sean Park, Anthemis has built a reputation for deep fintech expertise across banking, insurance, payments, and capital markets. The firm's dual model of working with both incumbents and disruptors gives it distinctive market insight and deal flow. Anthemis has been particularly active in areas like digital banking, insurtech, regtech, and blockchain infrastructure. The firm's portfolio includes notable successes like Betterment, one of the early robo-advisors, and Simple, the digital banking pioneer acquired by BBVA. With offices in London, New York, and other major financial centers, Anthemis has established itself as a bridge between traditional finance and fintech innovation.
