Thesis

Climate tech scales fastest when backed by corporate partnerships, not venture capital alone. We invest in B2B founders with breakthrough technology, sustainable unit economics, and clear paths to Fortune 500 adoption. Our unique advantage: direct access to 500+ Fortune 100 executives who can accelerate enterprise sales cycles from 18-24 months to 3-6 months.

Likely not a fit for
