Washington, DC – Former Omidyar Network CEO Mike Kubzansky announced the Andaris Investor Network today, the first US investor network focused exclusively on AI. Andaris is designed to help asset owners and allocators with economy-wide exposure, long-term horizons, and multi-faceted mandates leverage their full set of tools to maximize the opportunities and manage the risks presented by AI.
Andaris Investor Network’s first convening at the end of October is scheduled to host investors who represent more than $1.75 trillion of assets under management.
“Andaris is a community of investors leveraging their full set of tools to steer AI toward a future that delivers positive returns for people and portfolios,” said Founder and Managing Director of Andaris, Mike Kubzansky. “As AI permeates the whole economy, investor returns are tied directly to how well we manage the risks for everyone else. Investors are exceptionally well positioned to help mitigate those risks, and Andaris is here to help them build a better future for everyone.”
“Despite all the time I spend with my hands on a keyboard using the latest AI, I have so many more questions than answers. Andaris opens the door for me to learn with other investors about how to invest in AI in a way that makes us proud,” said Roy Bahat, Investor at Bloomberg Beta.
