Building the Future of the Creative Industries

London | Global

About AIFA Ventures

AIFA Ventures is a cross-sector fund dedicated to creative intellectual property. Our mission is to design a sustainable model for the creative economy, one that values IP as an asset class with measurable, long-term worth.

We connect capital with culture, a trusted bridge between creative leaders, investors, and institutions.

What We Do

Investment Infrastructure

We're developing the Creative Industries Fund, a cross-sector investment vehicle enabling responsible participation in the ownership and growth of cultural IP. The Fund identifies high-potential creative IP with commercial and cultural value, providing capital for reinvention, expansion, and protection.

Community Building

Through an annual programme of exclusive events, awards, and institutional collaborations, we cultivate relationships and structures that underpin the Fund's success. Our community spans investors, philanthropists and leading creatives who can shape the future of cultural IP.

AIFA Awards

The annual AIFA Awards recognise innovation and impact in the creative industries. From visionary investors re-shaping cultural IP to pioneering use of AI in film, we honour the architects of a new creative economy.
