Our support on the direct path Focus Finding the most direct route can be challenging, due to the uncharted nature of the terrain. Deviations can be costly. As companies scale, they navigate new markets, new partners and new customer types. Focussing on the summit and fine-tuning the route is crucial. We help management teams to maintain strategic clarity at all times, cutting the direct path. The tool set Taking the steep route to the top is technically demanding. It requires advanced business building skills and superior execution, going well beyond what was necessary in the early company stages.

Respecting nature As on any route to the summit, respecting and protecting the natural environment is essential. We cannot scale against nature. Companies taking this route should strive to maximize their positive impact.

We have two types of offerings. Colbridge Growth is for firms that are at seed stage or beyond and seek to scale. We act either as consultants for specific growth-focused projects or as interim execs to execute longer-term remits. We focus on all commercial aspects of early stage businesses - including market understanding, licensing strategy, business development, sales growth, marketing mix, financials, and fundraising. If funding is sought we can also make select investor introductions through an extensive international network. We act as a management consultant, business development professional, and investment banker, all rolled into one. This is ideally suited to the needs of young growing technology-based businesses, who are often short of time, staff, and money. Colbridge Studio is a venture studio for very early stage startups that are looking for a commercial partner to help develop their business. We act as a commercial co-founder, providing the mature entrepreneurial and commercial guidance to help founders get the company off the ground. We invest up to $30k ourselves and can help fill out angel or pre-seed funding needs through an extensive investor network. What we believe We believe that we are at a critical juncture in humanity's journey where environmental disaster and massive social upheaval will occur if we don't act quickly. Business and technology can provide some of the answers. We are seeking similarly mission-driven entrepreneurs to partner with. Here are some of the areas that particularly interest us: GHG Emissions Reduction: This is the defining crisis of our time. Projects to help reduce carbon in the atmosphere and to mitigate its effects are desperately needed. This includes arenas such as renewable & alternative baseload power, circular economy, hydrogen, bioplastics, alt foods, and carbon credits. Water: Water systems are being disrupted by the changing climate. We need ways to clean water, utilize seawater, and generate new sources of freshwater. Regenerative Agriculture: Agriculture has the power to restore the land and water systems that support it. We believe this will be an essential tool to clean the earth while feeding the growing population. New Grid: The massive increase in renewable energy required to meet net zero targets will need an overhauled grid. Energy Storage: One of the key roadblocks to greater penetration of renewables is the limited nature of energy storage. We are looking for technologies to improve the cost, effectiveness, and robustness of energy storage. Metals, Minerals & Materials: Significant increases in volume of key metals, minerals and materials will be required for our changing energy mix. We are interested in technologies and business models for increased supply and reuse/recycling plus the development of new better materials.

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.
