Investment thesis

Pulse Fund invests in scalable climate companies, focusing on cross-sector solutions to decarbonize the planet rather than treating climate challenges in isolation. Its investment verticals span food and agriculture, energy transition, infrastructure, and mobility. The firm targets companies transforming food production and resource efficiency, advancing energy efficiency in hard-to-decarbonize sectors, developing capital-efficient and software-enabled infrastructure, and deploying sustainable transit methods with vertically integrated supply chains. Pulse combines deep due diligence with climate, venture, and finance expertise to identify opportunities, and supports founders through strategic guidance and an extensive network to drive both profit and environmental progress.
