Anthem Venture Partners
Santa Monica-based venture capital firm investing primarily at Series A in early-stage technology companies, working hands-on with one or two companies a year across fintech, biotech and interactive entertainment.
Anthem Venture Partners is a venture capital firm based in Santa Monica, California, that invests in early-stage technology companies, primarily at Series A. The firm describes its approach as hands-on: it partners directly with entrepreneurs to test ideas, form companies and support the growth of early-stage ventures, in some cases joining a company at formation as founding or adjunct operating partners rather than as a passive financial backer. Investments may be led or co-led, with the firm taking board seats in portfolio companies.
The partnership operates at deliberately small volume, typically working with one or two companies per year. That cadence shapes both its selectivity and its involvement - the team states it provides practical guidance wherever it is needed across a company's development. Sector interests cited include fintech, biotech, interactive entertainment, and healthcare and life-sciences technology. The firm also partners with academic institutions and technology-transfer offices to commercialise discoveries, an orientation reflected in its stated focus on company building and commercialisation.
The team brings a mix of investment, operating, finance, marketing and company-building experience. The firm frames entrepreneurship as a means of unlocking human potential and addressing significant problems, and describes its working style as close collaboration with founders rather than distance. Further detail on fund size, cheque size and founding history is not published.
