Investment thesis
Third Sphere invests early-stage capital to upgrade systems it views as broken or overlooked when it comes to responsibility toward people, businesses, and the public. Rather than limiting its focus to carbon emissions reduction, the firm targets a wide range of sectors, from infrastructure to supply chains, with the aim of securing a more resilient future. The firm emphasizes climate and systemic improvements and highlights the growing importance of corporate venture partnerships for climate-tech founders.
