About

As a leading, multi-stage capital investment firm, we strive to be among the first investors and trusted partners to brilliant entrepreneurs with a shared vision for a sustainable future.

Based in Luxembourg and Munich, we invest in Venture Capital and Private Equity across stages, maturities, regions, and industries.

We create an environment where founders can thrive. Our international network, capital, and background in company-building ensures we enter active partnerships and support portfolio companies.

Our goal is to be among the first institutional investors to brilliant entrepreneurs with superior self-starter attitudes. We believe that investment means more than just financial support and strive to become trusted partners in the journey to success.

We invest globally in companies fueling the low-carbon economy, EV revolution, and global battery transition. This commitment to sustainability means that our portfolio companies become market leaders in shaping a better future for us and for future generations.

We Invest in a Sustainable Future

  • Energy & Sustainability: The transition to a low-carbon economy depends on the development and deployment of sustainable energy technologies, as well as the enforcement of sustainability standards. We believe in the electrification of the world including all major ways of transportation, heating and industrial processes up to 200°C. The focus on energy and sustainability is vital for creating a more sustainable future.
  • AI & Robotics: Advances in artificial intelligence and robotics are transforming industries across the board, and this is particularly true in the field of climate tech. From predictive analytics to autonomous systems, AI and robotics can help reduce emissions, increase energy efficiency, and facilitate a shift to a more sustainable future.
  • Digitalization & Software: Digital technologies and software are critical enablers of climate tech solutions, allowing for greater efficiency, automation, and data-driven decision-making. This category includes a range of digital tools and platforms that can help optimize energy consumption, increase operating efficiencies, and streamline supply chains.
  • METS: The natural resources industry will continue to be essential. METS (Mining equipment, Technology and Services) play a key role in solving the upcoming challenges, including resource depletion, commodity demand shifts due to global megatrends, and a trend of increasing environmental awareness and sustainability.

Pelion Green Future

We believe that reaching net zero is achievable, but a huge push is necessary to decarbonize our industries and societies. Fostering a liveable planet and achieving net zero will require innovation, technological change, an entrepreneurial mindset, as well as capital providers able to identify and support the right ideas. That is why we created Pelion Green Future. We invest in and support like-minded entrepreneurs, companies and technologies which help tackling the climate crisis at its root cause. For us, this starts with ‘cleaning up’ the energy economy by scaling up existing renewable energy sources while also investing in new technologies that help us generate, store, and use low-carbon electricity globally. Decarbonizing the energy economy means decarbonizing a large share of total emissions. ‘Green energy’ is therefore at the core of our activities. But to drive a large-scale decarbonization, we will need to rethink infrastructure and technological systems more broadly – which is why we also invest in companies focused on different climate technologies that help us achieve net zero. Our purpose Catalyzing decarbonization solutions to foster a liveable planet. We are a long-term investment partner, fostering innovation to accelerate the transition towards a cleaner future. With entrepreneurial spirit at our core, we provide capital, network, and support beyond the obvious – empowering visionaries around the world in building and scaling successful companies that help people and nature thrive. We believe that by working together with our partners, we can contribute to creating a sustainable future for all.
