Rita Sousa is a Partner at Faber leading their dedicated Ocean/Climate Tech fund, a relatively rare specialist role in Southern Europe VC with a mandate explicitly centered on ocean health, climate mitigation and adaptation, and nature-based solutions. She co-leads early-stage deep tech investments specifically at the intersection of ocean sustainability and climate action, positioning her as an investor who systematically looks for science-heavy combinations of wet lab, hardware, and software rather than pure software climate plays.
