As the world moves toward net zero carbon emissions, climate technologies are already changing the way we eat, live, move and work.
Within the next ten years, these innovations will create new industries, and reinvent the way incumbents do business.
Investing in climate technology capitalises on the strong macro tailwinds generated by growing awareness of climate change, changing consumer preferences and business requirements, as well as government support.
Combined with the global reallocation of capital away from fossil fuels, this is a once in history opportunity to build successful companies while helping preserve the quality of life on this planet.
Our investment process
The challenge of climate change transcends any specific sector. The Investible Climate Tech Strategy invests in a diverse range of companies across six key sectors identified by the UN Environment Programme as the most critical in supporting the transition to a low-carbon, more resilient future.
In order to assess and support climate solutions across software, hardware and deep tech, we believe it is essential to have a dedicated team that has experience at the intersection of technology and the physical world, where climate solutions operate.
We’ve assembled a team and investment committee with experience across geographies, sectors, stages and technologies; bringing decades of climate investment and industry experience to the Fund.
The Fund leverages Investible’s unique early-stage investing methodology developed over the last ten years to source, screen, secure and support quality investment opportunities.
This is based on our 16-point Investibility Index, which centres around the founding team of each company.
Since the launch of the Streategy, we have reviewed over 3,200 climate tech companies, globally. These companies are introduced via our network of LPs, our Club Investible syndicate, our advisory panel, and founders from within our portfolio.
Our links and relationships with universities and research institutions both domestically in Singapore and Australia, and internationally, are also a great source of investment opportunities.
Across these different sources we are often the first VC fund to engage with a founder.
Supporting the core investment team is a panel of strategic advisors with deep expertise each of our six climate sectors plus technology specialists. The advisors come from industry, government, research and universities.
Impactful founder support in product, commercialisation and talent backed by our global syndicate of HNW investors, Club Investible, and our extensive network of partners, executives and strategic advisors.
