While global venture markets may be cooling, ClimateTech in Europe is proving resilient, claiming the top spot for the best-funded vertical, once again.
The market in Europe is maturing, fuelled by founders and investors willing to take on bold, industrial-scale projects.
Meanwhile, a thriving ecosystem of universities and innovation hubs are cultivating the next wave of transformative ideas.
And at the heart of this growth is a powerful climate capital stack, a mix of funding sources driving the transition forward.
To highlight the VCs who are making it happen, we’ve put together a list of 120 European VC Partners writing the checks to propel climate startups across Europe - and beyond.
Go Further: 100s of investors from across Europe and around the world are meeting at the HackSummit this May 15-16th. Come and join us to find/close your next deal.
In this week’s edition, we cover:
💰 120 European Funds, Mapped
As we so often do, we took to LinkedIn to ask the community who are Europe’s top VC Partners to know.
And true to form, we were inundated with recommendations of industry renowned investors as well as new names incl. generalist funds, investors doubling down on specific Climate verticals as well as VCs supporting climate solutions across the board.
Kickstart (or boost) your fundraising efforts with the names of 120 European VC Partners - and of course we invite you to get to know the full team behind each fund.
