Partnership grants elect members of the Moonfare community access to one of the world’s leading communities of thinkers and leaders

Moonfare, the private markets platform and investment manager, today announced that it has become an official knowledge partner of WORLD.MINDS, an exclusive, invitation-only community of more than 1,000 leaders in science, the arts, government and business.

WORLD.MINDS is known for convening exceptional individuals through high-calibre events and curated exchanges focused on pivotal developments in business, geopolitics and science. Its goal is to improve the quality of decisions of private individuals – as role models and as citizens of this planet – and to inspire others to do so.

The partnership will include invitations to WORLD.MINDS events, curated introductions and community matchmaking. Past guests and speakers have included Microsoft founder Bill Gates, KKR founder Henry Kravis, General David Petraeus, shareholder activist Bill Ackman, architect Lord Norman Foster, designer and inventor Neri Oxman and NATO Supreme Allied Commander Jim Stavridis.

The partnership further strengthens Moonfare’s position as a thought leader in private markets while offering its community access to WORLD.MINDS’ global network.

“Becoming WORLD.MINDS’ official knowledge partner expands Moonfare’s global network and connects our community with some of the world’s most influential thinkers and practitioners,” said Steffen Pauls, Co-CEO and Founder of Moonfare. “This collaboration will enrich the dialogue around private markets and create unique opportunities for our community to engage with leading business figures and experts.”

“At WORLD.MINDS our conviction is simple: better understanding leads to better action,” said Corinna Hoyer, CEO of WORLD.MINDS. “By welcoming Moonfare’s high-caliber clients into our exclusive community, we enrich our dialogue across science, business, and geopolitics whilst equally offering a unique, cross-disciplinary context that is necessary to navigate global markets. Together we seek to turn intellectual curiosity into a tangible, strategic advantage.”

Moonfare looks forward to building a long-term partnership with WORLD.MINDS, grounded in shared curiosity, expertise and impact.
