The number of climate tech funds globally has boomed over the last few years, and the US venture scene has been one of the most active in new funds raised earmarked for climate solutions.

Since we last put together our list of US Climate VC’s in January of last year, the number of firms has more than doubled.

From the first time funds that are writing checks at the earliest stages to the generalists that have spun out dedicated climate tech strategies - we’ve listed them, and their decision makers, below.

This list is not comprehensive, If there's someone we missed, just reach out.

👀 Before we jump in:

Over 400+ fellow founders, financiers, operators and policy makers we’ll coming to the HackSummit in New York on the 12-13th December for two days of end of year discovery and deal making. If you’re fundraising or deploying in climate, this is the one event of 2024 you won’t want to miss.

Perspectives: What makes the US a hub for climate tech?

A Vibrant Ecosystem

“US-based investors are in a prime spot to lead global climate action by taking smart, calculated risks that have a history of delivering outsized returns. Backed by the sheer size of the US economy and an unmatched ability to scale businesses fast, US VCs can back climate-focused startups with serious impact. As corporate America sharpens its focus on sustainability, plus the vast amount of available capital, the opportunities are plentiful. The US startup ecosystem—anchored by top universities, research and development centers, investors, and a culture of entrepreneurship—drives the continuous flow of groundbreaking innovations. This along with a healthy VC approach—bold but measured—can turn emerging ideas into game-changers,” notes Dan Altschuler Malek, UNOVIS

Lab to Market Pathways

“The U.S. has always led the way on innovation and commercialization, and will continue to be uniquely positioned to do so. While there has been encouraging climate tech R&D globally, particularly among European technological institutions, the commercialization skill sets required for deep tech are still not widely disseminated to scientists who are essential actors in this process. Newlab, along with a consortium of like-minded partners, sees clear opportunities to accelerate this pathway from lab-to-market in the U.S. and globally,” says Alex Prather, Newlab

Supercharging Innovation through Policy

“In September, CA Governor Gavin Newsom signed the California Food Safety Act into law which bans 6 synthetic dyes from food sold in schools. Biotech companies have three years to be commercial scale ready with alternatives that replace the use of synthetic petroleum-based dyes which are not biodegradable and have an adverse effect on the environment. This is a tangible example of consumer demand driving policy that can supercharge innovation,” explains Noramay Cadena, Supply Change Capital

A Culture of Innovation

“The US has deep capital markets across all types of financing and an ecosystem of entrepreneurship built by several generations of successful founders and company-builders. This culture of innovation, in combination with the US’s large market, enables rapid scaling for decarbonized technologies poised to outcompete incumbents on price and performance,” shares Nare Janvelyan, Voyager Ventures

Powering the Energy Transition

“We are enthusiastic about the opportunities emerging in the U.S. energy transition sector. To handle the rising base load demand (for the first time in 20 years) from EVs and data centers, the U.S. grid requires grid-enhancing technologies (GETs) like real-time dynamic line ratings, advanced energy storage, and distributed energy management systems. These innovations optimize capacity, stabilize power delivery, and support flexible demand response, ensuring the grid can accommodate increased electrification without compromising reliability. The U.S. DOE is also guiding utilities to adopt virtual power plant technologies through its liftoff reports and the Loan Programs Office (LPO),” concludes Murat Aktihanoglu, Remarkable Ventures Climate
