Inven Capital is a Czech venture capital fund investing in growth-stage climate technology companies across Europe and Israel. It is backed by ČEZ, the Czech energy group, and the European Investment Bank. The fund targets businesses with proven sales and significant expansion potential, with equity tickets typically ranging from EUR 2 million to EUR 30 million per company.
Sector coverage is broad within the climate theme. Areas of interest include clean energy, energy efficiency, electric mobility, battery recycling, water technology, agricultural technology and sustainable logistics, with decarbonization the common thread. The growth-stage focus means portfolio companies are generally past product-market fit and scaling revenue, rather than at seed or pre-revenue stages.
Beyond capital, Inven Capital provides active portfolio support and helps assemble investor consortia around its companies, working alongside founders on long-term value creation. Its stated aim is to back impactful businesses addressing decarbonization and other environmental challenges. The fund operates from the Czech Republic, with investment activity concentrated in Europe and Israel.
