Investment thesis

1843 Capital targets what it calls the AgeTech and Longevity opportunity, driven by demographic shifts such as the growing 65+ population (projected to reach over 78M by 2030) and the significant economic power of Americans over 50, whose spending is expected to expand substantially by 2050. The firm supports founders with capital, counsel, and connectivity, drawing on over 100 years of combined investing, marketing, and operational experience to help grow companies addressing longer, healthier lifespans.
