Climate Capital

Climate Capital runs a "Network Fund" as an AngelList rolling micro-fund that writes many small checks ($10k–$25k) into the top 10–20 climate startups per quarter, giving individual LPs "large fund" diversification with low minimums through a structure much closer to an angel-syndicate model than a traditional closed-end VC fund. The firm has deliberately built a very large, democratized LP base of 2,000+ individual LPs via its rolling Network Fund and syndicate, turning climate-interested operators and angels into co-investors and creating a distribution/mentorship network for founders that is structurally different from the small institutional LP bases of most VC funds.
