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.
