The global carbon transition is underway. Many billion-dollar climate technology companies will be founded this decade, creating new markets and swiftly overtaking incumbents across the modern economic system. A generation of climate-motivated founders is leveraging the technological opportunity enabled by years of foundational research and development in materials science and energy alongside breakthroughs in computing, sensing, and biotechnology. Defined by superior product performance, competitive unit economics, and growing demand from businesses, consumers, and governments worldwide, these new technology companies are reshaping the foundation of the global economy. This is a market opportunity worth trillions.

Our mission is to mobilise all market players and create tools to catalyse the transition to a sustainable economy. OUR WHY We’ve all been there - asking ourselves what WE can do about climate change. We’ve already cut flying, reduced meat consumption, and ordered less on Amazon. But all these measures sum up to a low single-digit CO2 tons reduction. We realised that we need to look at our workplace to have a real impact. How can we dedicate our time and resources to have a significant impact on humanity’s biggest challenge? This is how Extantia’s team came together. For us, as successful investors, unicorn founders, climate scientists & policy experts, it was a no-brainer. At Extantia, we combine our know-how in different areas to move the needle on climate change.

Prelude Ventures invests in and supports early-stage startups with the greatest potential to mitigate climate change. We invest early and accept informed risks through a fundamental emphasis on venture-level returns combined with a deep understanding of the challenges of frontier technologies and markets. In 2009, we started the company with a commitment to take action. We began with a simple idea: the economy of the future will be driven by the climate needs of today. We saw an opportunity to invest in and support bold thinking that could help turn the tide against climate change while building the next generation of category-defining businesses. We were in a position to help these entrepreneurs change the world. So we did. Years later, this continues to be our central ethos: if we can act, we must. The transition to the low-carbon economy is the greatest investment opportunity of this century. We champion the brightest ideas and the boldest entrepreneurs with the goal of achieving the greatest positive impact on climate.

Technology exists today that can solve many of society’s greatest problems, but these technologies are often trapped in political stasis. The bigger the problem, the greater the value in solving it. Trust Ventures exists to find these solutions. Our ApproachFIND: We look for startups taking on society’s greatest challenges. We are building a portfolio that will bring progress to a range of industries held back by public policy barriers. FUND: We invest like a venture capital fund, but think like advisors. We don’t seek compensation for the strategic guidance we offer our portfolio companies - we succeed when they succeed. ASSIST: From building relationships to developing strategies to proactively head off regulatory challenges and advocate for change, we offer guidance to startups to help them level the playing field with larger incumbent companies.

We go beyond early growth stage capital. We commit to the tech companies we invest in, providing them with access to our unique network of industry experts, leadership team and partners in Asia and the Middle East. Together we build a collaborative advantage to overcome the global water issues we are facing today. Naturally, we create impact by design. We invest to transform the world’s clean water supply. Natural Ventures has an impact-driven approach to investment that is at the centre of addressing the interrelated challenges arising from climate change, world population growth and the transformation of the world’s water system. Natural Ventures is focused on accelerating the transformation to a sustainable and economic supply of clean water. Let’s reimagine water together. Water around the world is rapidly changing from an abundant resource to a scarce one. We believe the inevitably increasing pressure on our water resources offers enormous opportunities for companies who offer breakthrough technologies in a profitable and scalable way. We are a team of seasoned investors with an excellent track record, experienced water, food and energy experts, entrepreneurs and leadership developers who have purpose-built Natural to help solve some of the world’s most pressing water and environmental issues. Natural Ventures has a unique proposition to its portfolio companies, combining a deep network in major markets in Europe and North America with particular and unique strength in areas of the world where water is scarce or infrastructure and urbanisation means that demand exceeds supply by an ever-increasing margin. The partners of Natural Ventures have extensive experience of living and working in the Middle East and Asia, and maintain a broad network of partners for manufacturing, distribution and delivering compelling solutions to the regions. We are on a mission to support purpose-driven entrepreneurs across three investment pillars across the Water – Energy – Food Nexus
