What we look for

We back startups bringing new technology to market, not more installs of what already works. Each dollar should buy as much climate impact as possible.
Better and more affordable, at scale
Products that beat today’s technology on price and performance, so going green costs customers less, not more. Sold into profitable markets, with a clear path to scaling profitably.
Exceptional founders, early
