PRESS RELEASE: VIVA Investment Partners AG (VIP), a leading multi-manager investment platform headquartered in Zurich with offices in Athens and London, and AnD Ventures Fund LP (AnD), an innovative Israeli venture capital fund based in Herzliya, have created a Partnership to scale AnD’s new model of venture capital harnessing their networks and expertise, and have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

‍

‍

This agreement aligns VIP and AnD in promoting AnD Ventures' innovative “Studio” concept for start-up growth companies operating in a range of technologically driven industries. The Studio provides investee companies with a suite of services, all designed to improve their own promotion to potential investors. These services include financing, staffing, product and tech development, design partnership with corporates and scaling through Go-to-Market and a global network. VIP and AnD believe that preparation and knowledge are essential to the development of a sustainable, long-term business. The Studio is designed to prepare investee companies with this support.

With the addition of AnD, VIP now has four venture capital funds on its investment platform; AnD will join SPiCE Venture Capital, GEM Funds and ACE Fund.

VIP’s investment strategy is based on its proprietary Ecosystem Economics® - a specific focus on companies whose ethos and operations organise the economics of their ecosystems – and which is implicit in our selection of the opportunities that we target through these funds. Platforms are prevalent in every industry today and are likely to dominate in key areas. Through its innovative approach, VIP works to take the venture capital funds on its platform to scale with capital, deal flow and best practices.

Lee Moser, Managing Partner, AnD Ventures said, “We’re looking forward to our partnership with VIP, working together we believe we can bring our innovative Venture model to global investors, corporates and more.”

Said Julie Meyer, CEO of VIP, “We select emerging fund managers who have secured a first close, and partner with them once they have achieved that significant de-risking milestone, and take them to scale. We’re excited to support new ecosystems, jurisdictions and business models through our company.”
