Notable Investments
Activate Capital Partners is a climate-focused venture capital fund that specializes in the "missing middle" of climate finance by writing $10-30M checks at Series B through pre-IPO stages, targeting companies in power, industrial production, mobility, and climate adaptation sectors that drive approximately 90% of global emissions. The fund distinguishes itself through its operator-heavy team of ex-founders and CEOs from energy and infrastructure companies, and its integrated approach that addresses not just decarbonization but also resiliency and adaptation, including weather intelligence and climate-resilient insurance alongside traditional mitigation technologies.
