Sapere Aude means “Dare to Know”

Sapere Aude Consulting is the advisory and investment vehicle for Kevin Kennedy –  an established practitioner and consultant in development finance with a particular focus on end user finance solutions for assets and renewable energy, and the application of A.I. in these areas.

The Sapere Aude philosophy is that investment and consultancy are a good mix. The first gives you a good understanding of risk and implementation, while the second allows both a recycling and a constant refreshing of knowledge.

Another core belief is that profit is the best measure for total organisation performance, demonstrating clearly whether the activity is truly sustainable i.e. that it is self funding over the medium and long term. The use of profit is a matter for the stakeholders.
