PRISM GROUP AG
Amir Nagammy and Guy Rothschild, two entrepreneurs and investors with decades of experience in scaling and managing companies, wanted to create a paradigm shift in the investment sector with the goal of transforming the lives of underserved communities across the world. They knew that innovative new companies needed more than just funds: they needed a new approach to management.
This led to them co-founding Prism Group AG: a private equity firm that leverages the potential of disruptive technologies to transform traditional business models. Prism Group applies an entrepreneurial-driven, private-equity approach to the companies that it invests in. Prism works alongside commercial partners and co-investors, including leading venture capital funds, institutional investors, and sovereign wealth funds.
Prism is headquartered in Switzerland with offices in the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates, providing a geographic distribution that provides an in-depth knowledge of the developments and key players in regional and international markets that drive groundbreaking innovation.
The results speak for themselves: under Amir Nagammy, the firm has made several notable strategic acquisitions, including the global Financial services company Finablr, which includes the Unimoni and Xpress Money brands
