The Triad

We invest in companies that meet the criteria as laid out in the Triad below:

Superior Unit
Economics

Environmental
Returns

We look for wins on physics fundamentals–matter, energy, time, and space. These act as invention catalysts, breakthroughs with the potential to ripple–change entire systems of production and use. Effective technology solves the problem in a way that is so compelling it wipes out the previous way of doing things.
The only way that existing industries will ever adopt sustainable products and technologies is through superior unit economics. We look for companies with a solution that is not just at cost parity with incumbent technologies but the better performing option; deep tech that can cut costs by more than 3x the margin of that industry.
When built-for-purpose deep tech with superior unit economics successfully displaces incumbent technologies, the result is both outsized financial and environmental returns. We look at environmental returns as the elimination of damage, such as carbon emissions, and also by the growth of net-positive industries and the regeneration of nature and ecosystems.

Diversity

It’s going to take a different kind of thinking than what got us into the climate crisis to get us out. That’s why we’ve invested in founders coming from a variety of backgrounds and on a global scale, ranging from academics and scientists to investment bankers and scale-up veterans.
We value diversity of thought so we can get a multi-faceted and in-depth understanding of problems in order to find tangible solutions.
As a result, 40% of the founders in our portfolio are part of groups traditionally under-represented in venture-backed companies (i.e., BIPOC, female).
We also have a globally distributed portfolio, with 70% of companies in North America, 15% in Europe, and 15% across Africa, South America and Israel.
