Climate

The early-stage climate tech investment firm is anchored by Voloridge Investment Management, with other LPs including Cathay Innovation’s InnoSquare fund, Morgan Stanley and WovenEarth Ventures.

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.

Despite political headwinds, climate-focused VCs are still able to raise new funds, but it is more challenging and takes much longer than it used to.

WovenEarth Ventures, which raised $152m for its debut fund of funds last year, is targeting $300m for its second effort.

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.

Political and economic uncertainty could prevent investors from committing to illiquid climate funds, says Capricorn Investment Group partner Mark Berryman.

Emerging managers are trying to identify investors with whom their visions resonate.

The co-founder and general partner of Azolla Ventures talks about trail running, the unexpected signatures on his college diploma and why investing in climate tech is so important.

SE Ventures' new accelerator program aims to connect climate tech start-ups with expert industrial advice and pilot customers earlier in their journeys.
