Bill Powell is a multi-lingual entrepreneur and investor who works at the intersection of early-stage venture, deep technology, and human-centered innovation. Over 30 years, he has partnered with founders across North America, Europe, and other regions, helping them translate first-principles thinking and frontier technologies into companies aimed at solving complex problems. As co-founder and Managing Partner of Anthropy Partners, he invests at the convergence of neurological and physiological applications with advances in material science, sensors, wearables, diagnostics, and related deeptech, with a focus on dual-use technologies that can scale across domains. His work is anchored in a “human tech” thesis—backing innovations that expand vitality, health, performance, consciousness, community, and environmental alignment—drawing on prior operating roles from fintech and open-source platforms to geothermal energy exploration and light manufacturing. At the core of his investing is a belief that technology should amplify what is most resilient and meaningful about being human, and that the tools we build today will shape the capabilities and environment of future generations.
