AIF

AIF was founded by Chris Male three years after his son was diagnosed with ASD. AIF is the investment and innovation arm of the autism community and aims to drive returns while revolutionizing the status quo for autism and everything in the space through the venture capital model.

AIF’s mission is to revolutionize the status quo for diagnosing, treating, and living with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), neurodevelopmental disorders, mental health issues, and complex chronic conditions through a venture capital model that helps accelerate developing and delivering emerging technologies, translational science, and innovative services to empower individuals to reach their full potential.

The fund has institutional LPs such as investment firms Fairfield-Maxwell and Ferd, as well as individual backers often with personal connections to autism.
