As large infrastructure funds siphon capital from early-stage climate-focused venture managers, more of the latter are turning to European LPs.

The climate investor coalition relied on family offices to get the first fund over the line, but will be 'very much more focused' on institutional investors for Fund II, says so-founder Stan Miranda

LPs include IFC, FASA, Shell Foundation, Trafigura Foundation, Speedinvest, Blink Impact, FSD Africa and Cisco Foundation.

Climate tech funding coalition appoints Jay Dessy as its first CIO and names Just Climate and GenZero as new members as it carries out its first investment.

All Aboard expects to raise a $300m fund by the end of the year and commit to its first investments in the coming months, says co-founder Stan Miranda.

Planeteer Capital closed its debut fund with anchor investments from an Ivy League university endowment and Mike Schroepfer, former CTO of Meta and a partner at Gigascale Capital, after pitching more than 400 potential LPs.

'We decided to actively go find partners in Canada and Europe to be long-term partners,' managing partner John Tough tells Venture Capital Journal.
