Our Partners and Investors
Overview
Brighthouse's portfolio companies seek to partner with the strongest players in their industries. Our team's proven ability to attract and cement partnerships with giants is a great asset to our startups. It greatly accelerates their growth and stability and generally has a multiplicative effect on the value they offer users (and investors).
Investors
Anthem Ventures
Anthem's mission is to build world-class companies by providing early-stage investment and operational guidance to distinctive entrepreneurs. Anthem is usually the first institutional investor in a company, and the typical initial investment is from $500,000 to $4,000,000. Anthem is different because the leadership team is willing to get its hands dirtier, doing real work when entrepreneurs need them — especially in seed or Series A investments when a company needs help getting off the ground.

Vencore's approach is to match the size, structure and pricing to its clients' risk profiles. Vencore has established lifetime partnerships with more than 200 angel- and venture capital-backed companies and has provided more than $100 million in venture debt financing.
