Climate Angels

Climate Change. Plastic Pollution. Water shortages. Planet A Ventures supports founders tackling the world‘s largest environmental problems. We provide early stage funding and mentoring to highly scalable green tech companies – while measuring and forecasting the positive environmental impact of a start-up as our central metric of success. IMPACT FORECASTING We help start-ups to scientifically quantify and predict the positive ecological impact of their business-model. PLANET A NETWORK We give founders access to a unique mentoring network of experienced, serial entrepreneurs, and proven experts. FUNDING We provide early-stage funding to accelerate impact and growth. ENABLE SCIENTIFIC INSIGHT, EMPOWER ENTREPRENEURIAL ACTION We believe in close collaboration of entrepreneurs and scientists to change our economy for the better of our planet. Without scientific insight, even the best entrepreneurs are ignorant of the true ecological impact of their business. This is why we have a full-fledged scientific team committed to calculating Life Cycle Assessments: this allows us to not only evaluate the GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions involved, but also to determine plastic, water, and land use footprints. Our approach provides entrepreneurs with the insight to scientifically quantify, visualize and forecast the environmental effects of their product or service. This knowledge empowers founders to make sustainable and strategic decisions. Such knowledge also allows investors to understand the impact of every Euro they have invested into early-stage start-ups. WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY Our planet desperately needs an economy that operates within its environmental boundaries. This requires us to radically change the ways we produce and consume. Now. Reinventing our economy is a major global challenge. It will take entrepreneurial action, scientific ingenuity, political stamina, and individual choices to achieve it. Capital has great power to influence the future of companies and entire industries: Tomorrow’s economy is based on today’s investment decisions. And we think it’s time for venture capital to take on its responsibility. This is why we at Planet A Ventures work hard to advance an economy that serves the people and our planet. We support start-ups taking action and spearheading positive change with capital as well as knowledge. BY FOUNDERS FOR FOUNDERS Planet A Ventures is founded by founders for founders. Our team and the Planet A Network give every venture unique access to the knowledge and experience of like-minded successful entrepreneurs, scientists, and business experts.

We look for startups to address global climate and UN Sustainable Development goals in the following areas: Low carbon mobility solutions Sustainable Energy & Resource Optimization: We're looking for companies that can help power our societies with cleaner energy and optimize our resource utilization to hand over our beautiful earth to the next generations. Sustainable Food & Agriculture: We look at solutions that enable a regenerative and carbon-negative economy, such as alternative protein, ag innovation, carbon sequestration, and blue economy. Sustainable production and heavy industry: We support innovative technologies and solutions eliminating carbon from society in industry, such as alternative plastics, sustainable materials, and processing Decarbonized built environment: We support innovations that contribute to energy efficiency, low carbon construction, and end-use. Integrated Solutions: Further holistic decarbonization efforts such as carbon capture, circular economy, climate risk, insurance tech, green finance, behavioral change, consumer B2B+B2C solutions including carbon accounting, reporting, and more Vectors Impact Pledge We are dedicated to supporting companies that can create a positive impact in solving global challenges. We encourage our portfolio companies to sign the Vectors Impact Pledge, which they quantify their current positive impacts and their long term impact goals

Led by entrepreneurs, seasoned angel investors, corporates, and VCs, GoMassive invest in sustainability startups solving pollution & climate change. The network brings access to capital, mentorship, and validation of ideas through its partnerships with research labs, tech academia, and policy think tanks. GoMassive has evaluated 350+ startups in the pollution space since 2019.

CarbonN Venture Partners is a venture capital firm based in Silicon Valley. Led by two seasoned deep-tech investors with a singular focus to reverse the effects of climate change – accelerating the commercialization and scale-up of breakthrough technologies toward a negative emission economy. We invest in startups late Seed to Series B stage, with initial ticket sizes ranging between $500K and $5M. Further, we will selectively deploy “catalytic capital” to fund First-of-a-Kind (FOAK) projects through project equity or term loans. As part of our investment mandate, we assess a startup’s potential for meaningful climate impact in an analytical and quantifiable way, e.g. megatons of CO2e removed, millions of tons of waste prevented. We will work closely with our portfolio companies to measure and report their own ESG and impact metrics. Thesis Climate disasters like floods, wildfires, snowstorms and droughts are paralyzing supply chains, industries and societies. The sense of urgency as a whole is still not there… To limit global warming to below 2C, carbon reduction technologies are necessary to lower “future” emissions, while carbon removal technologies are needed to lower “historical” CO2 from the environment. These solutions together need to reach gigaton-levels within the next 3 decades. New adaptation technologies such as green infrastructure, water desalination and circular economy solutions also must scale up for industries and communities to adapt and become more resilient to the new climate reality. We believe identifying opportunities with significant social and environmental impacts will lead to better financial return. Investment Areas We invest across a portfolio of carbon negative solutions based on their carbon removal and reduction pathways (Air, Land, Ocean, Rock) augmented and catalyzed by Data and Finance innovations, and Circular Economy solutions in key material markets to improve sustainability and reduce environmental impacts. Air: direct air capture, point-source carbon capture, carbon utilization, waste-to-energy. Land: regenerative agriculture, biochar, forest management, soil carbon sequestration. Ocean: direct ocean removal, electrochemical separation, alkalinity enhancement, seaweed/kelp cultivation, blue carbon. Rock: enhanced rock weathering. mining rocks, geologic sequestration. Data + Finance: wildfire detection, earth observation, remote sensing, carbon accounting, sustainable finance, MRV & ratings. Circular Economy: plastic recycling, battery / e-waste recycling, wastewater treatment, desalination, sustainable packaging. Responsible Investing Better Climate Performance Leads to Better Financial Returns We are committed to responsible investment and incorporating specific ESG considerations into our investment process. We seek to help our portfolio companies to mitigate and manage risk as well as their long-term sustainability. We believe integrating these ESG principles in our investment practice will have a positive impact on the financial performance of our fund.
