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

“Spero” is Latin for hope. We help founders build a hopeful future. We’re a team of former startup founders, operators, and investors from landmark companies including eBay and Tesla. We invest in determined founders building mission-driven technology companies in three focus areas: wellbeing; sustainability; learning, work, and play. We prefer to lead or co-lead a $3-$10M round (late seed or Series A). Our typical check is $2-$4M, and we reserve capital for follow-on. We are conviction-based investors who play the long game. How We Work With YouWe have the conviction to lead and price your round. We participate in follow-on funding and help with subsequent fundraising. Our concentrated portfolio approach allows us to engage deeply with our founders. We’re supportive throughout the life of a company. Every one of our founders has full access to the entire Spero Ventures team. We know some ideas take time to catch on, so we offer patient capital. We are calm and steady partners in uncertain times. We help companies scale to serve billions of customers. We’ve done this as operators and founders, and as advisors and board members. We connect our companies to a network of founders, advisors, coaches, domain experts, and executive talent. We build community by bringing founders and leaders together through our CEO Summits, Product Leader Summits, founder breakfasts, workshops and thought-provoking events. We offer expert-led workshops that help founders with brand/storytelling, sales/go-to-market, consumer growth, and fundraising. Our focus Wellbeing Agency over physical and mental health People deserve to be in control of their own physical and mental health. For that, they need new kinds of information and access to care. What devices, apps, tools and services will help people live longer, healthier, more vibrant lives? How can genomics help us better understand our world and ourselves, and contribute to new solutions? Companies that answer these questions will make life worth living. Sustainability Protecting and preserving our planet Life is worth living on a healthy planet. But many of the largest systems we rely on - water, food, energy, transportation, product production and waste - were designed in a way that’s unsustainable and detrimental to our personal and planetary health. The economic, social, and health impacts of climate change and industrial pollution are growing too large to ignore: unprecedented droughts, fires and floods have disrupted millions of lives and result in billions of dollars of loss each year. How can we develop safer, more efficient systems? What can we do to improve power grids, recycling, environmental monitoring and disaster analytics? We invest in sustainability with conviction. Learning, Work, and Play Freedom in work and life Savoring relationships, art, joy, and laughter makes life worth living. Today, the way we do these things is changing. We can now learn, work, and play in hybrid ways that suit individual needs. This means self-directed learners need access to education and job preparation. Likewise, self-directed workforces need freedom, flexibility, and the ability to manage their goals. How can we provide better access to rewarding, satisfying work? What tools and support systems do people need to thrive? We invest in powerful visions for the future of learning, work, and play.

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.
