Manuel Heckmann built his first project—a vocabulary database for classmates—at age 14, and later co-founded both EcoG, an EV-charging software system that scaled to over 25,000 deployments, and POLYAS, a certified online voting platform, before moving into climate-focused venture investing at Greencode Ventures. He continues to focus on the technical backbone of the energy transition, writing about topics like battery storage systems and advising EV-charging companies on strategy, while publicly describing himself with details like being vegan, practicing yoga, and joking he'd come back as a sea otter.

Notable Investments
Greencode Ventures is a digital-first climate venture fund that prioritizes software already delivering real climate impact today rather than long-term moonshot bets, led by founders with deep energy and industrial experience—Terhi Vapola, who founded Helen Ventures and made over 40 investments, and Kaisa Hietala, who helped drive Neste's shift to renewable products, a transformation recognized by Harvard Business Review. The fund backs infrastructure software for decarbonization, such as satellite monitoring, grid mapping, industrial procurement transparency, and carbon-removal marketplaces, and is best suited for startups working on market-structure or industry-navigation problems within Europe's energy and industrial transition.
