At Greentown Labs, we see with clear eyes the universal challenge that climate change poses. And we meet it with an equally clear vision for solving the problem - in fact, it’s an amazing opportunity for ingenuity and collaboration. We are a climatetech startup incubator like you’ve never seen before. Founded by entrepreneurs, we’re bringing together startups, corporates, investors, politicians, and many others to shape our best future. We’re here because each solution becomes greater when combined with others in a community of changemakers. In this community, we build on ideas, connect disciplines, and foster creativity. As individuals, we take great pride in the fact that we’re each playing a role in achieving our mission. And when we step back and look at the full scale of work being done here together - in this engine of possibility - we feel grateful, inspired, and relentlessly optimistic. Because we know that, no matter what, we’re going to get this done. A Community Committed to Climate Our members, our partners, and our staff are united by a common mission: solving the climate crisis through entrepreneurship and collaboration. Whether you’re a startup founder or a policymaker or an investor or a corporate executive, this is the place where you can take climate action. Our community wants to change the way people think about, engage with, and use energy. We want to change how we build our buildings, how we get around our cities and towns, how we grow our food, how we manage our water. We believe in the power of entrepreneurs in the climate battle. And we’re confident that when combined with support and amplification from corporates, politicians, private citizens, and others, climatetech startups will drive progress. We aim to be the leading hub where people from all over the world congregate to work toward the shared goal of a sustainable, renewable future. Our Incubation Model Greentown Labs aims to be a supportive, collaborative, and inspiring community for early-stage entrepreneurs to grow their businesses. In light of that mission, we don’t take any equity in our member companies. Instead, members pay monthly fees based on their lab and office space. We bring in revenue from other sources, including partnerships and grants, to keep membership fees low for our startups. Membership fees are approximately market rate, but include so much more than desk and lab space - members also gain access to more than $1 million worth of resources, equipment, programming, staff support, and more.

Climate VC is a UK-based EIS fund that will invest in over 100 climate tech companies within the next 3 years, across pre-seed and seed. Our ticket sizes will vary on a deal by deal basis, usually £25k - £350k. We need to look at how to decarbonise every aspect of our day-to-day life and the economy. That means changing the way we; grow food and what we eat, move around, generate electricity & make things. The solutions, some established, some crazy, are being dreamt up by bold founders. We want to help ignite that early spark.

Pale blue dot is a €87M seed-stage venture capital firm, investing in climate tech startups that reduce and reverse the climate crisis and help us prepare for a new world. Pale blue dot is based in Malmö, Sweden, and invests in early stage companies in Europe and the US. We invest in founders building climate tech companies to build the world we want to live in. It’s simply good business to protect our home - the dot - and it’s not too late. We still have time to use technology to outpace climate change, but we have less than a decade to reduce carbon emissions, reverse the climate crisis and prepare for a new world on the same beautiful blue dot. DetailsStage: Seed and Pre-seed Ticket size: €500k-€1.5M Fund size: €87M Focus: Climate Tech Geo: Europe and US Strategy: Lead or co-lead seed rounds Why? We founded Pale Blue Dot in 2020 as three former entrepreneurs. We wanted to build a better venture capital fund that understood entrepreneurs and channelled capital into founders solving the biggest problems facing humanity: climate change. We have all previously built software startups in Europe and the US and have invested in hundreds of startups and built programmes to support entrepreneurs and their growth. Focus We invest in the best early-stage founders building scalable solutions to the climate crisis. Climate change is the biggest challenge facing humankind right now, and it's also the most significant opportunity for new thinking and where we think the best entrepreneurs are building. So, what is climate tech? Every single industry needs to adapt to climate change. Climate tech is not a vertical itself, it's a lens through which we see all companies. Many industries are built for an old world, and startups are coming in fast to develop better versions or entirely new solutions. Climate positive companies can be found everywhere; food, agriculture, mobility, fashion, supply chain and logistics, fintech, proptech, energy, biotech, and more. We think every industry will be disrupted. We invest in companies with climate impact at the core of their business model. We back companies that decarbonise industries, remove carbon from the atmosphere, or prepare for a new world. We strongly believe the future billion-dollar companies will be built with positive climate impact right at the core, and it is no longer negotiable. We also invest in great leaders. Those who are building defensible ideas in huge addressable markets, and who ask themselves every day if their company contribute to a liveable planet. We strongly believe that profit and impact go hand in hand. We believe that great companies and great people can come from anywhere. We love meeting climate tech founders and corporate activists from all backgrounds. We believe that diverse founders are a moral imperative and give you a competitive advantage. We back leaders who want to build diverse and inclusive companies.

Over the past few years, we’ve been faced with the reality that the world as we know is changing. Whether it’s a shifting workforce dynamic, rising material costs and increased regulations or reframing business to a global mindset.‍ We acknowledge that growth and evolution are the status quo, and standing still is simply not an option. We took it upon ourselves to look to the future and imagine what our actions today may affect as we go about our daily lives. It is in our nature to question our decisions, our thought process, and to reconsider what our “normal” is in the pursuit of greater, better ideas. With that in mind, we are moving forward as venture builders, automation innovators, as Vebu Labs.‍ This new iteration of our operation is focused on many of the same things that Wavemaker Labs has grown to be known for, but with the added intention of focusing on the food supply chain, automation innovation, and improving access to quality food for everyone. At our core, we are venture builders We’ve always been a lab, we’ve always been builders. Whether that is big, broad sweeping changes to markets and industries ripe for change, or in smaller, intentional changes to problems we face, we’re here to build, and we do so with ventures and partners that have the same values that we do. What does this mean for our operations & partners? In a word, nothing. We are still the powerhouse of engineering, tech, and expertise that has propelled Wavemaker Labs to the status that we have today, but are refocusing ourselves in what we say, how we say it, and the core focus of our team. Though we’ve always been driven to build better, we are clear that our focus needs to be on automating the food supply chain and improving access across the board, whether that is through true partnership with technology and automation, intentional design with our brands and products, or by leveraging our tech stack to drive better options for the future.‍ To us, our brand is the overarching principle that guides our daily life. It is the spoken truth that informs all of the unspoken actions and activities that connect us as a team, to each other, to our partners, and to our overall purpose. Our intention, our purpose, is at the forefront of our minds at each step and is why we can feel confident we are all rowing this ship in the same direction. What is our purpose? We are here to Found, Fund, and Scale transformative ventures to enable better food production. This is true and prevalent throughout our work, but what does that mean on a daily, get out of bed in the morning, level?‍ Our operation is built on the development of a future that makes humanity more effective, that leverages technology in a way that is iterative and constructive, and that cooperates unselfishly to build what benefits the largest proportion of the world. We know the future of food is bright, and we are Venture Builders working to make that future a reality.
