Investment thesis

AENU invests in disruptive hardware, software, and AI-native solutions across energy, industrial decarbonization, and systemic resilience. It focuses on European climate tech founders, with an emphasis on the DACH region, France, the UK, and the Nordics. The firm's sweet spot is the seed stage, with selective pre-seed and early Series A participation. AENU writes initial checks of EUR 1-5M with follow-on capital up to EUR 10M, preferring to co-lead or lead rounds and always taking board representation. Its impact approach extends beyond pure carbon metrics, requiring climate performance to be additional and built into the business through its B Corp-certified Systemic Impact Framework.
