Anthony Danon is a Managing Director and co-founder of Cocoa, a London-based venture capital firm he launched in 2021 alongside former Blossom Capital partner Carmen Rico after serving as a partner at Speedinvest. Cocoa invests across Europe in pre-seed and seed-stage startups in any sector, with a concentrated focus on enterprise software and fintech. The firm writes angel-sized checks of $150,000 to $500,000 and explicitly avoids leading rounds or taking board seats to act like a supportive angel investor. Notable portfolio companies include Tide, Truelayer, Fuse Energy, and Spiko, the latter receiving a $21 million Series A in July 2025. Danon’s distinctive point of view centers on the thesis that “fintech is everything,” arguing that financial technology is reshaping all industries. He emphasizes a non-ownership-sensitive approach, stating that Cocoa does not care about stake size to avoid competing with other investors.
