Investment thesis
TO VC backs companies redesigning the core systems that sustain human life, principally energy and food, aiming to unlock abundance within planetary boundaries while delivering strong financial returns. Its portfolio reflects a focus on climate and deep technology: soil carbon measurement, biochar, CO2-to-chemicals electrochemistry, microbial protein, sustainable aviation fuel, advanced batteries, data-center cooling, compact EVs, and lithium extraction. The firm views capitalism as a force that can be directed toward solving major global challenges, and it emphasizes technologies that improve the affordability, accessibility, and abundance of essential services such as health, energy, food, and infrastructure. It grew out of a food- and energy-focused, Africa-oriented predecessor firm.
