For our team, this means not only identifying promising business opportunities but also focusing on innovations that can make a significant impact on our environment.

- Energy solutions

Essentially, we're interested in technologies that have thepotential to scale globally and positively impact our environment.
A Personal and Professional Mission
For many on our team, this focus is deeply personal. As Ash shares in this video
"I have three kids, and I genuinely worry about the state of the world and what it looks like today compared to what it will look like when they are adults."
This concern drives a passion for working in an industry where we can actively contribute to making the world more habitable for future generations.
The Intersection of Innovation and Impact
The environmental sector is thriving with innovation. Every day we’re seeing the emergence of ground-breaking technologies aimed at addressing environmental challenges. By focusing our investments in this area, we're not only tapping into a growing market but also supporting solutions that can make a real difference.
Beyond Investment: Active Support for Growth
Our commitment doesn't end with the initial investment. We take an active role in working with our portfolio companies to help them grow and scale their environmental solutions. This approach not only provides the companies with the patient capital they need, it ensures that promising technologies have the best chance of making a significant impact.
A Long-Term Vision
Ultimately, our investment strategy in environmental technologies is about securing a liveable future. As Ash eloquently puts it,
"What we do is making sure we have an environment that our future generations can live in."
By focusing on deep-tech solutions for environmental challenges, we're not just seeking financial returns—we're investing in the future of our planet. It's a responsibility we take seriously and an opportunity that excites our team.
