At 885 Capital we champion the big ideas that fuel ambitious, bold, and innovative projects.
Philosophy
Thinking big
885’s Capital philosophy is rooted in thinking big and backing ambitious ideas, whilst still respecting the need to start with small steps and respect diversity and local culture.
Evaluate & relate
As entrepreneurs and active managers, we can evaluate, relate to, and support the journey of other founders and management teams.
Decisive
As direct hands-on decision makers with a long-term outlook, we are able to act fast and deploy capital decisively without a fear of short-term volatility.
