Michael Kleindl shifted early from mainstream digital investing into climate-focused venture building, choosing to back companies working to decarbonize heavy industries rather than sticking to typical software startups. He brings a mix of formal banking training and hands-on experience as both an entrepreneur and investor, a background that includes work in European food tech tied to cultivated meat, earlier involvement with Crossinx and KOMM Investment, and a long-standing presence in pan-European tech circles through groups like Seaya Ventures.

Collateral Good runs separate sector-focused funds for food, packaging, and textile/fashion innovation, plus an umbrella fund that combines them, and it connects portfolio companies with corporate partners like HUGO BOSS, Amcor, Delivery Hero, Bimbo, HAVI, and Sigma—HUGO BOSS became the first company to invest directly in its Textile & Fashion Innovation Fund. The firm also won a competitive bid to take over management of Blue Horizon's €100M Sustainable Food Fund from Deloitte, showing it can be trusted to manage an existing institutional portfolio, not just raise new capital.
