Investment Thesis

Climate VC pursues early-stage, founder-first investing aimed at ‘gigatonne-scale’ decarbonisation. The fund backs ‘elite founding teams’ at pre-seed and seed stages (S/EIS) that are building solutions to decarbonise the economy and everyday life — from food systems and transport to energy, built environment and nature-based solutions — with the explicit goal of unlocking very large-scale CO2 reductions.

Investment Focus

Who should take a closer look

Climactic is most relevant for founders raising Pre-Seed and Seed rounds in Climate/Cleantech, AI/ML, Data Infrastructure, and Enterprise SaaS, especially across Kenya, South Africa, and India.

Focus statement

Invests in pre-seed and seed climate and nature-tech startups (S/EIS) that drive decarbonisation across sectors — particularly carbon removals, nature-tech, regenerative agriculture, climate finance data, and low-carbon built environment solutions — with a priority on solutions that can scale to gigatonne impact.

Value Add

Stage + tax wrapper: explicit pre-seed / seed focus and operated as an S/EIS fund ("Climate VC is an S/EIS fund investing into pre-seed and seed climate startups").
Ambition scale: clear emphasis on 'a GIGATONNE-SCALE IMPACT' rather than incremental gains.
Nature-tech specialization: dedicated 'What We Invest in?' list focused on soil health, nature intelligence, biomaterials, landscape restoration, biodiversity monitoring, regenerative agriculture, water management, reforestation, and ecosystem resilience.
Portfolio breadth across climate verticals: examples include carbon removals, carbon insurance, climate finance data (AI), enhanced weathering, ocean thermal energy, graphene for batteries, rail freight, built environment software, and nature restoration tools.
Active / lead investor behaviour: multiple portfolio entries note 'We led the round', indicating willingness to lead and provide early capital.
Technical and domain expertise on team: founders and investors with AI, fintech CTO, natural capital and carbon removals specialisms (e.g., Peet Denny, James Knight).
Diversity commitment integrated into investment practice: published portfolio and team diversity metrics and an internship programme to support underrepresented talent.
