About Us

Smart seed stage capital is an essential nutrient for growth.

Hundreds of entrepreneurs are addressing climate change in Latin America, yet only a minimal percentage of global climate-tech  venture capital investments are deployed in the region.

Climate entrepreneurs lack access to the right mentoring, networks and follow-on financing to scale.

We bring our track record in climate-tech investments and a global network of advisors into the growth of exceptional companies addressing the climate crisis.
