Investment Thesis

Daphni doesn't chase hype but focuses on real shifts across scientific, societal, and environmental landscapes. They invest in technologies that regenerate, include, empower, and scale across various sectors, including climate, deeptech, retail, and inclusion. Their core belief centers on talent being ubiquitous and access needing to be equally available, targeting innovators from various backgrounds, from rural areas to deeptech labs. They aim to meet founders where they are and help them reach their goals. Sustainability and impact are at the heart of their strategy, reflecting a long-standing commitment to ESG (Environment, Sustainability, Governance). As a B Corp certified company, their actions are guided by clear values and measurable objectives. This commitment is ingrained in their investment decisions and permeates their ecosystem, from portfolio companies to investors. Daphni employs different strategies with its active funds. The generalist fund focuses on disruptions with a positive social and environmental impact, with a strong science angle in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and life sciences. There's also a digital retail fund, supported by Carrefour, focuses on innovations in the retail space including e-commerce, future of grocery, data, financial services, robotics procurement, and impact. The Time4 fund is a project to support entrepreneurs with unique and underrepresented backgrounds, targeting all industries.
