Investment thesis
Emend Vision Fund invests in commercially-ready, planet-healing technologies while applying the same ROI standards as a traditional venture fund. It focuses on climate tech across industrial transformation (mining, manufacturing, logistics, construction, oil & gas), critical infrastructure and resilience (energy-efficient, data-driven technologies and cybersecurity tools), and water and food security (next-generation treatment, monitoring, and agricultural innovation). The fund positions itself as a partner to other investors, offering co-investment, due diligence leadership, board-level insight, and transparent reporting, backed by deep market knowledge and a global network with measurable climate outcomes.
