Investment Thesis
Cerulean Ventures is a pre-seed venture capital firm that backs founders applying AI to build exponential solutions for nature and climate change. They reject the traditional climate investing approach that focuses on incremental changes or niche products with green premiums, instead seeking systemic leverage points where proprietary data, AI scaling, and fintech solutions can rapidly transform large industries resistant to digital disruption. Their philosophy emphasizes finding software that will drive demand for renewable energy and environmental assets while creating radically new markets that value and protect nature.
