Ariadne Capital is an investment firm, founded in London, UK in 2000, which builds Ecosystem Economics™ firms. Since 2000, Ariadne Capital set out to create the gold standard for the financing of entrepreneurship in Europe by embedding 62 leading entrepreneurs at the foundation of the investment firm. Ariadne has deliberately worked to prove the thesis behind its platform through two economic cycles that creating global leaders out of Europe requires a platform fit for European requirements (rather than imitating Silicon Valley). Ariadne’s business today has the design and is the foundation for a much larger investment platform which can scale accordingly and become the leader in European innovation and venture capital.
