Pale blue dot is a €87M seed-stage venture capital firm, investing in climate tech startups that reduce and reverse the climate crisis and help us prepare for a new world. Pale blue dot is based in Malmö, Sweden, and invests in early stage companies in Europe and the US. We invest in founders building climate tech companies to build the world we want to live in. It’s simply good business to protect our home - the dot - and it’s not too late. We still have time to use technology to outpace climate change, but we have less than a decade to reduce carbon emissions, reverse the climate crisis and prepare for a new world on the same beautiful blue dot. DetailsStage: Seed and Pre-seed Ticket size: €500k-€1.5M Fund size: €87M Focus: Climate Tech Geo: Europe and US Strategy: Lead or co-lead seed rounds Why? We founded Pale Blue Dot in 2020 as three former entrepreneurs. We wanted to build a better venture capital fund that understood entrepreneurs and channelled capital into founders solving the biggest problems facing humanity: climate change. We have all previously built software startups in Europe and the US and have invested in hundreds of startups and built programmes to support entrepreneurs and their growth. Focus We invest in the best early-stage founders building scalable solutions to the climate crisis. Climate change is the biggest challenge facing humankind right now, and it's also the most significant opportunity for new thinking and where we think the best entrepreneurs are building. So, what is climate tech? Every single industry needs to adapt to climate change. Climate tech is not a vertical itself, it's a lens through which we see all companies. Many industries are built for an old world, and startups are coming in fast to develop better versions or entirely new solutions. Climate positive companies can be found everywhere; food, agriculture, mobility, fashion, supply chain and logistics, fintech, proptech, energy, biotech, and more. We think every industry will be disrupted. We invest in companies with climate impact at the core of their business model. We back companies that decarbonise industries, remove carbon from the atmosphere, or prepare for a new world. We strongly believe the future billion-dollar companies will be built with positive climate impact right at the core, and it is no longer negotiable. We also invest in great leaders. Those who are building defensible ideas in huge addressable markets, and who ask themselves every day if their company contribute to a liveable planet. We strongly believe that profit and impact go hand in hand. We believe that great companies and great people can come from anywhere. We love meeting climate tech founders and corporate activists from all backgrounds. We believe that diverse founders are a moral imperative and give you a competitive advantage. We back leaders who want to build diverse and inclusive companies.

FAR EASTERN GROUP If a man’s worth is no greater than his ambitions, the same is true for a company. Far Eastern Group began with a simple textile factory; seven decades later, it is woven into the fabric of society. A glimpse at Far Eastern Group’s record of past growth highlights its great promise for the future. Take a look at where we are now next to our humble beginnings – with billions of USD in assets from a few bundles of cotton; a diverse group of 247 businesses from a single textile plant; tens of thousands of employees from an initial few – reaching across the oceans from Taiwan, the momentum is unmistakable. Far Eastern Group now spans ten significant industries globally – textiles, cement, petrochemicals, telecommunications, shipping, retail, finance, construction, hotel, and philanthropy. The group’s 73-year history is not just one of business expansion but also an invaluable record of reform and innovation. Far Eastern has helped shape Taiwan’s economy, culture, and quality of life. It has broadened people’s horizons and improved the standard of living in cities throughout Taiwan. Far Eastern Group is at the forefront of change today and still building bridges for a better world tomorrow.
