Without compromises.
We want to drive systemic change - through our investments and our engagement in the impact investing community.
We want to see a world with less resource extraction, where materials are recycled and reused.
We want to foster a net-zero world and innovation in renewable energy.
We want to support thriving terrestrial and ocean ecosystems.
We want to end discrimination, create equal chances, increase social stability, and ensure fair access to critical services for all.
We work with founders who are intrinsically motivated by enacting systemic change.
Voltfang was founded in 2020 in Aachen, Germany, and specializes in using end-of-life batteries from electric vehicles as sustainable stationary energy storage for industrial applications. Their main goal is to provide cost-effective and sustainable battery storage to support the energy transition.
Paebbl was founded in 2021 with the mission to reduce the CO2 footprint of the cement industry. The team has developed a mineralization technology that expedites the natural process of mineral formation from years to minutes, while sequestering CO2. This process produces a silica-enriched magnesium carbonate by reacting CO2 with natural feedstocks. The resulting material can be sold as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) to cement producers, replacing a portion of the clinker in cement and reducing its CO2 footprint by up to 40%.
UNDO was founded in 2022 in London, UK. They are a carbon dioxide removal project developer specializing in enhanced rock weathering, a technology that locks away CO2 permanently while improving soil health and food security. UNDO spreads crushed silicate rock such as basalt on agricultural land, speeding up a natural process that would take hundreds or thousands of years to twenty years.
CleanHub was founded in 2019 in Berlin, Germany, and is on a mission to remove non-recyclable plastic in coastal areas where plastic typically ends up in oceans or is burned at open landfills. They do this by managing local waste collection partners, who collect, separate and deliver the waste to cement factories to substitute coal in energy input, and selling verified plastic credits to FMCG brands.
