We are impact-driven and tech-enthusiasts by conviction. We do not only talk tech and science, we have a passion for positive innovations. Here are the sectors in which we like to deep dive and invest.
4 investment sectors
XAnge focuses on making tech accessible to the largest possible audience. We firmly believe that the unequal access to tech, to the right products & services is the issue to solve. Democratizing tech is the best means of empowerment for all groups and individuals — if not the only one.
Data
XAnge believes that major paradigm shifts, such as the inception of mobile telephony and the Internet, trace their origins to scientific and technological innovations that were as highly disruptive as those that paved the way for microprocessors.
We seek to invest in start-ups that are ready to meet such great challenges, staffed by visionary teams bent on expanding the capabilities of technology without losing sight of the product/market fit.
Care
Care means paying stronger attention to ourselves. It means protecting the quality of our environment, at work, at home or in transports, and preserving balance in our ecosystems.
Care implies vigilance, as much as relentless efforts to build sustainable solutions.
We invest in care to improve everyday people’s quality of life, at scale, by generalizing access to affordable & efficient healthcare, education and better housing for all.
Trust
It’s no surprise that the fastest growing tech brands are also the most trusteds. As investors, we have the ability to direct streams of money towards a new breed of brands, not the Coca Cola and Pampers of the XXst century. We need Brands people can trust and relate to.
We’ll support founders who genuinely strive for everyone to benefit — not just a certain segment — from new brands powered by technology.
Impact
We, at XAnge, feel that technology is a powerful force to trigger change efficiently, and to remodel social and environmental schemes in a sustainable way.
