We believe that electrification and digitalization are the backbone of decarbonization and green transformation. Vireo Ventures is a seed- and pre-seed-stage VC. We invest in European tech start-ups that drive electrification. As Vireo we take the long-term view and support our portfolio companies wherever possible. We invest in B2B business models that pave the way towards an electrified and decarbonized world. Energy Supply The energy system is becoming decentral, carbon-neutral, and digital. We invest in startups that support the generation, supply, Power2X (e.g. green hydrogen), trading and optimization of green energy. Mobility Travel and mobility will undergo dramatic changes. Electric transportation will be the norm. We seek startups that support the build-out, utilization and re-usage (circular economy) of the EV and charging infrastructure. Cities & Buildings Continuing urbanization requires transformation of cities. We fund startups driving the management and optimization of (integrated) electrified power, gas, heat and mobility systems (sectoral coupling) of the built environment. Logistics Logistics will evolve to a fully integrated multimodal platform. We look for startups that enable the electrification of (last mile) delivery and innovate operations of logistics. Industry & Mittelstand Operations will be digitalized, electrified, and their carbon footprint significantly reduced. We seek startups that spearhead this fundamental transformation.

Our commitment to drive change in mobility The Challenge: The transportation sector faces significant challenges as the global demand for mobility and logistics continues to grow. Greenhouse gas emissions: By contributing approximately 25% of all global greenhouse gas emissions, the transportation sector is a leading cause of climate change. Natural resources consumption: Natural resources are heavily relied upon for the production of vehicles, fuels, and infrastructure in the transportation sector, which can have significant environmental impacts. Congestion: Traffic congestion in urban areas is a major challenge that requires a combination of infrastructure improvements, public transportation options, and changes in behavior. Physical footprint: The transportation sector requires a significant amount of physical space for roads, parking, and other infrastructure, leading to habitat destruction, loss of green space, and decreased livability in urban areas. Innovation as a Solution: At Rethink Ventures, we strongly in believe innovation and new technologies to create a world in which transportation is emission-free and sustainable. Together with our startups and partners, we aim to develop and scale solutions that eventually will provide clean, digital and safe mobility for everyone. As a SFDR article-8 fund generating positive impact through our investment activities is core to our Rethink Ventures DNA.
