The global challenge we see
Aligning mission and capital
Core market challenge in scaling climate solutions is not technological but a structural failure. The Mainstream venture capital model is misaligned with the needs and emerging requirements of climate tech startups. Humanity and the planet urgently need these solutions, and that drives our search for alternative business and ownership models. We iteratively learn and apply our learnings by actively participating in the co-creation, funding, and scaling of mission-driven ventures, specifically in emerging markets.
