Transition VC

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.
