Investment Thesis

Buoyant Ventures invests in digital solutions to climate change with the belief that climate solutions can generate market-rate financial returns while delivering measurable climate impact. They partner with early-stage companies that can rapidly deploy and scale bold solutions, focusing exclusively on software and simple hardware rather than physical infrastructure. Their philosophy centers on achieving both ‘FINANCIAL IMPACT + CLIMATE IMPACT,’ requiring founders to commit to measuring climate impact across their companies through both mitigation (GHG emissions reduction, waste reduction, efficiency gains) and adaptation metrics (cost avoided, risk assessed, vulnerabilities decreased).
