Desmos

New markets are being rapidly created, not just in sustainability and net-zero, but wherever the impact of new technologies and innovation is occurring. What joins all these new markets together is the fact that little more than a decade ago they existed only on paper, as prototypes or models in university laboratories. Now they are, like net-zero, transforming the world. Desmos was founded to support this transformation—helping innovative businesses and their investors scale across borders, structure complex transactions, and unlock long-term value. Desmos combines global execution capability with deep contextual intelligence. Our work spans sectors and geographies, advising clients ranging from early-stage scale-ups to multinational groups and sovereign investors. Our strength lies in seeing the whole board: capital formation, policy, risk, and governance. We perform at our best when complexity is high. Desmos was announced in July 2024 by its Chair and Co-Founder, the Rt Hon Chris Skidmore OBE. Since then, Desmos has evolved into a full-service boutique investment banking firm, with a presence in Toronto, Washington, London, Amsterdam, Paris, and Johannesburg. It is supported by a reputable slate of Advisory Board members and Senior Advisors, including former US and UK Cabinet Ministers, Board level leaders, and recognized figures from global investment banking, emerging markets, and the energy transition.
