Investment thesis
Streetlife Ventures backs B2B pre-seed and seed-stage founders tackling urban climate challenges, framed around the idea that cities are central to the climate fight and that ~75% of 2050 urban infrastructure is yet to be built. The firm concentrates on five urban climate sectors: mobility & logistics, buildings, water & waste, energy, and adaptation. It prioritizes companies with at least a beta-stage product and two or more pilots, investing across North America and Europe. The team, made up of former operators and policymakers, emphasizes diversity, transparency, and bridging public and private sectors to achieve financial, social, and environmental returns simultaneously.
