Dangerous Ventures

Dangerous Ventures is a venture capital firm that invests at the pre-seed and seed stages, backing companies building solutions for climate resilience. Its stated focus is on founders developing practical, scalable approaches to urgent problems across energy, mobility, food systems and climate adaptation. Technical areas of interest within the portfolio include geothermal power, grid resilience, efficient heating, sustainable materials, organic waste and industrial composting.

The firm's investment activity spans a broader set of sectors than its climate thesis alone might suggest, with experience in solar, fintech, legal and media. Team members have operated as both founders and investors, with a track record of scaling and exiting startups in those sectors. The firm frames the world's most pressing challenges as opportunities to build enduring businesses, and backs companies it believes can deliver positive, lasting change through commercial means.

Early-stage investing in climate resilience requires conviction before commercial proof points are established; Dangerous Ventures positions itself as a partner at that pre-seed and seed juncture. Founding date, team size, fund size and check sizes are not disclosed.
