Looking ahead

This year has been a milestone for Ananda, with our portfolio companies tackling some of the world’s most urgent challenges head-on. From managing wildfires with OroraTech, mapping biodiversity with NatureMetrics, and driving sustainable transformation in agriculture with Klim, to making entrepreneurial education more accessible with Oneday, we’ve seen first-hand how bold solutions can reshape the future.

But the work doesn’t stop here. As we look to the year ahead, we are more determined than ever to scale these successes and push the boundaries of what impact-driven entrepreneurship can achieve.

Our Focus for the Future:

• Enhancing Measurable Impact: We’re doubling down on refining how we set and track targets with our portfolio companies, ensuring that every investment delivers measurable and meaningful results for people and the planet. With the appointment of Johannes Wenger as Senior Finance and Impact Measurement Manager, we’re taking our commitment to the next level. Johannes brings fresh energy to this critical role, helping us fine-tune our impact frameworks and strengthen how we measure success across the board.
• Strengthening Founders’ Well-being: Entrepreneurs are at the heart of what we do, and we’re committed to expanding our initiatives to support their mental health and resilience. Our new and improved founder support programs will continue to take center stage.
• New Investments, Greater Impact: With our €108M Ananda Impact Fund IV, we are still looking to back more bold, visionary founders creating transformative solutions in critical sectors like biodiversity, health, education, and climate resilience. If you are building something impactful, make sure to reach out!

Why It Matters

The challenges we face—from climate change to inequality—require more than incremental solutions. They demand bold, scalable ideas backed by committed support. Over the past 15 years, we’ve helped build an ecosystem where impact and financial success coexist. Now, with urgency on our side, we’re ready to deepen this legacy.

We’d love to hear your thoughts, ideas, and questions about the work we’ve shared in this report. Together, we can strengthen the impact ecosystem and ensure that meaningful change happens at the scale our world needs.

Thank you for your continued support, and here’s to the bold strides we’ll make in the year ahead.

Warm regards,

The Ananda Impact Ventures Team
