Investment Focus

Who should take a closer look

Climate VC is most relevant for founders raising Pre-Seed and Seed rounds in Climate/Cleantech, Energy, Agtech, and Foodtech, especially across United Kingdom, Kenya, and South Africa.

Focus statement

Climate VC is "an S/EIS fund investing into pre-seed and seed climate startups" with a concentrated interest in nature tech (soil health, nature intelligence, biomaterials, landscape restoration, biodiversity monitoring, regenerative agriculture, water management, reforestation, ecosystem resilience) and climate solutions such as carbon removals, climate finance data, energy, built environment, and green finance.

Value Add

Explicit aim at "a gigatonne-scale impact" — prioritises solutions with very large emissions or removals potential.
Stage focus: exclusively pre-seed and seed, and structured as an S/EIS fund (tax-advantaged UK vehicle).
Nature-tech-specialised focus alongside a wider climate portfolio (carbon removals, climate finance, energy, built environment, food systems, etc.).
Hands-on early support: language emphasises igniting the "early spark" and they have "led the round" on multiple portfolio companies.
Diversity metrics and active commitments: publishes portfolio and team diversity stats and runs an internship programme to support underrepresented students/graduates.
Team expertise combining AI/Fintech (Peet Denny), Natural Capital and Carbon Removals specialist (James Knight), and a serial founder/angel investor advisor (Doug Scott).
