Why we exist
Our purpose is rooted in the belief that businesses have the potential to reverse the damage they've inflicted on our natural resources, animals, and their habitats. We are consuming irresponsibly and have been for too long. The focus on decarbonization and climate tech isn't just a trend; it's a commitment to leveraging startup innovation to mend the very world we've altered for decades.
We are firm believers that business and positive change are inherently and inextricably intertwined. Profitability and purpose are not mutually exclusive – together they form the DNA of a responsible business.
Our mission is to empower and partner with the brave visionaries – the 'crazy ones' – who share our belief in making meaningful, sustainable change can happen through business. Focusing on startups.
Our collective journey
While we are a small impact investment studio, we are launching a small decarbonisation fund to invest in the companies we work with.
Our intention is to use the fund to partner with startups that have innovative solutions that:
- Decrease or change the consumption demand on land
- Provide low friction access to renewable energy
- Decrease the consumption demand on animals
- Recycle/upcycle waste
- Provide a carbon low/free mobility or logistics solution
- Restore Habitat
- Capture climate data
- Remove or reduce carbon emissons
The premise of the fund is to invest in startups that show traction in decreasing the commercial impact on animals 🐂, land 🌾 and air 💨.
Our existence is driven by the profound belief that even with small actions, when taken together, we can move the needle by a centimeter; protect and repurpose one more acre of nature, reduce the demand on one less animal or reduce the temperature by one degree Celsius.
We work across the climate tech value chain
We spend up to 3 months supporting and growing early stage climate tech startups in Europe and Africa. We help to launch businesses, increase revenue, and raise €500k - €5m investment.
Our angel network is a collaborative network of individuals investing in early-stage climate tech startups. We pool experiences and expertise and invest up to €250k in startups that have been through the studio.
We partner with climate VC to co-invest in startups that have been through the studio. We collaborate with organisation who manage a cohort of climate tech startups to increase their value offering.
