About Lukas Püspök

Lukas Püspök runs PUSH VC as a small, hands-on team he calls a mini-VC, while also serving as CEO of one of Austria's larger private renewable-energy companies, and he says a motorcycle trip from Nepal back to Vienna first pushed him toward building companies, before he joined his uncle's wind-energy business and began investing in startups in 2013. He looks at climate investing with real technical depth, weighing things like software versus hardware, grid expansion, solar, e-fuels, and small modular reactors, and as a father of four he ties this thinking to building companies for the long run and for future generations.

Avg Check Size

PUSH VC is unusually rooted in real climate experience, since cofounder Lukas Püspök's family has built renewable-energy projects since the 1990s, and the fund stays intentionally small so its team can work closely with early-stage founders, even preferring to invest before a startup has a clean ownership structure. Backed by well-known Austrian founders and investors, PUSH actively sources deals through proprietary scanning tools and university connections rather than just waiting for intros, focusing on founders building in human and planetary health across the DACH region.
