We look for companies acquiring critical data and using machine learning and artificial intelligence to create climate solutions for financial institutions and corporations. We are evaluating opportunities related to climate data management, carbon markets, digital MRV solutions, climate-related insurance products, sustainable asset management, and GHG emissions reporting.

We focus on companies that are decarbonizing the built environment and related infrastructure. We are engaging with startups that help real estate developers, owners, operators, and the communities they serve reduce their environmental impact and increase their climate resilience. Our focus areas include HVAC innovation, windows and building materials, energy efficiency solutions, waste reduction, and water and air purification systems.

We invest in companies that are decarbonizing the power system and electrifying energy demand. We are connecting with startups that help developers accelerate the siting, financing, permitting, and interconnection of renewables, storage, and other clean power assets. We also focus on digital and financial services that optimize clean power production or support demand-side electrification.

Stage

We’re early-stage investors with a focus on Series A and B investments. We seek to develop long-term relationships with founders and welcome introductions to seed stage companies. We make initial investments of $2 - $5 million that represent a meaningful ownership position. We are patient investors with significant capacity for follow-on financing and access to later-stage capital.

Process

End-to-end, assuming data access and availability of your team, our diligence process usually takes 4 - 6 weeks. We start with an initial meeting or call. If we seem like a mutual fit, we typically request:

Product

Historic and projected financials (walk through with CFO/finance lead) Customers
Customer calls and sample contracts Regulation
Licensing and regulatory approvals (if relevant)
Sales
GTM strategy and sales pipeline (deep dive with sales lead) Team
