About

AENU is an evergreen impact fund based in Berlin, founded by the serial entrepreneurs Ferry and Fabian Heilemann (founders of Forto and DailyDeal). The fund focuses on "Impact Capitalism," backing technologies that have the potential to avoid 100 Mt of CO2e or significantly improve the quality of life for millions of people. As an evergreen structure (permanent capital), they are not bound by the traditional 10-year VC cycle, allowing them to prioritize long-term impact over short-term exits.
