Mission One Capital is led by Kiel Berry, who previously ran the venture arm for Grammy-winning band Linkin Park and led early investments in companies like Lyft, Robinhood, and Impossible Foods, bringing an atypical blend of Wall Street training and entertainment-industry experience to frontier tech investing. The fund operates as an "action-driven SWAT team" that focuses on three existential threats—climate change, resource depletion, and inequality—by backing startups where impact metrics are tightly tied to business performance and often target communities disproportionately affected by climate change, such as Zevvy's affordable EV leases for long-commute gig and essential workers.
