We provide tailored support across all stages of growth, from seed to scale. At the seed stage, we focus on validating technology and market fit. During the growth stage, we help companies scale operations and expand market presence through follow-on investments. Our late-stage investments support companies ready for major market expansion or preparing for exit opportunities. This staged approach allows us to grow with our portfolio companies while managing risk effectively.

We strategically partner with other venture capital firms to create powerful investment syndicates. This approach not only distributes risk but also brings together complementary expertise and resources. Our syndication partners include specialist cleantech VCs, corporate venture arms, and impact investors. We typically lead or co-lead investment rounds, taking an active role in structuring deals and coordinating between partners. This collaborative approach gives our portfolio companies access to a broader network of expertise and potential follow-on funding sources.

Our funding is structured around clear, achievable milestones that align with each company's growth trajectory. Initial funding typically covers 12-18 months of runway, with additional tranches released as key milestones are met. These milestones might include technology validation, pilot project completion, revenue targets, or strategic partnership formation. This approach ensures capital efficiency while providing companies with clear objectives and the motivation to achieve them. We work closely with management teams to set realistic milestones and provide support in achieving them.

We take an active role in our portfolio companies' governance, typically through board seats or observer rights. Our board participation focuses on strategic guidance, network access, and operational support. We help companies build strong management teams, develop robust business strategies, and navigate critical decisions. Our governance approach includes regular board meetings, monthly performance reviews, and ongoing strategic support. We emphasize responsible corporate governance, including environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations in board-level decisions.

We measure success through both financial returns and environmental impact. Each investment is evaluated using our proprietary impact framework, which tracks metrics such as CO2 emissions reduced, water saved, or waste diverted from landfills. We help companies develop impact measurement systems and integrate sustainability metrics into their business operations. Regular impact assessments help guide strategy and demonstrate value to stakeholders. We require quarterly reporting on both financial and impact metrics, using this data to support company growth and impact optimization.
