- The Latest From Ansa
As we enter February, we’re excited to update our Ansa community on the progress and activities of the early weeks of 2024.
We began the year hosting our limited partners for Ansa’s AGM and ended it as our most active month investing to date! While our new investments will remain unannounced for the time being, this newsletter provides a glimpse into last year’s wrap-up and a preview of what’s on the horizon for us. We’ll have lots more to share in 2024!
