Amy Francetic co-founded Buoyant Ventures as a woman-owned climate VC specifically focused on digital climate solutions that use software, data, and AI rather than capital-intensive hardware. She brings unusual experience having founded three different climate innovation vehicles—an accelerator, an institutional energy VC fund, and now Buoyant—and has early technical background in AI from her work at SRI on voice recognition technology that contributed to what became Siri.

Buoyant Ventures is a 100% women-owned venture capital fund that focuses exclusively on digital climate solutions—software and simple hardware that accelerate climate impact without the capital intensity of traditional cleantech—with equal emphasis on both emissions reduction and climate adaptation like flood insurance and risk management tools. The fund combines deep climate investing experience from previous platforms with a structured research engine that systematically maps climate software niches, while using SPVs to lead early rounds and provide hands-on operating support to portfolio companies developing climate transparency, intelligence, and risk products.
