Category Leaders Are Built, Not Born
We partner with early-stage startups to build breakout brands from day one—using strategic and creative services that transform early momentum into lasting market leadership. The best brands win. We ensure you’re one of them.
Our Model
We invest capital and services
We are a rare breed in the venture world, bringing typically inaccessible world-class strategic and creative execution to early-stage companies in a capital-efficient manner.
We fill a unique role on cap tables

We partner deeply with founders
We have a deep bench of talent who have experience and relationships with the most senior leaders at key customers and strategic partners. We bring operational and execution depth to teams.
We have spent the last 18+ years working with and building the best and strongest brands in the world.
Demos Backs Satlyt to Help Build the Future of Orbital Compute
We’re excited to share that Demos Fund II has invested in Satlyt, an early-stage company working at the intersection of space infrastructure, data, and compute.
Over the last 18–24 months, the conversation around data centers in space and orbital compute has gone from sci-fi to roadmap. Major hyperscalers and infrastructure players are openly talking about:
Moving the most power-hungry AI and HPC workloads off-planet
Tapping into continuous solar power and the thermal advantages of space
Treating orbit as a new layer of the global compute fabric
At the same time, satellites are already a critical part of everyday infrastructure on Earth — informing agriculture, logistics, disaster response, and climate risk. The next step is obvious: space becomes not just a sensing layer, but a compute layer.
That’s the frontier Satlyt is building toward: a world where orbital infrastructure is tightly integrated into how we move, process, and act on data.
We’re thrilled to partner with the Satlyt team as they explore this new category and help define what orbital compute actually looks like in practice.
More to come.

World Economic Forum & Uplink Top Investor
We’re excited to announce that Demos has been named a Top Investor by the World Economic Forum.
We were selected through the recent Uplink/World Economic Forum challenge to “source and select the most innovative investment, philanthropic and corporate funds that are investing much-needed capital in people and planet-focused entrepreneurs.”
Funds were evaluated based on their investment track record and approach, and our unique model of combining capital with creative and strategic services was specifically called out as an innovative model and one of the reasons Demos was selected.
The video below provides a summary of our model and startup partners to date.
