Investment thesis
Climate Tech Partners invests in globally scalable technologies that accelerate decarbonisation and build climate resilience, framing the energy transition as the largest capital reallocation in history. The firm targets primarily Series A climate tech startups (and welcomes seed-stage companies) spanning software, hardware, and deep tech. It offers portfolio companies capital, strategic advice, and access to corporate partners. A distinctive element is its bridge between emerging technology companies and corporate climate ambitions: corporations can co-invest through the firm or engage to support startups without committing capital, gaining technology scouting, co-investment opportunities, market insights, and decarbonisation project collaboration. The firm aims to de-risk climate investment while delivering both environmental impact and financial returns.
