Why Anivest exists

Our mission

We believe the anime industry is healthier when the creators own their stories. Anivest gives independent studios a path to fund original work on their own terms — no committees, no minimum guarantees, no rights giveaways. Backers get rewards; studios get patronage.

The principles

What we stand for

  • Creator-first economics — studios keep ownership of their IP.
  • Transparent funding — every pledge, ledger, and tier is public.
