Who we are
Founded in 2021 as an informal network of Berlin-based funds, we’ve since grown into a global platform. Today, we are one of the largest not-for-profit communities for venture capitalists investing within Planetary Boundaries: spanning Climate Tech, Deep Tech, Biodiversity, Resilience, Oceans, the Circular Economy, and beyond.
Built by VCs for the ecosystem, our mission is to foster high-trust, strategic relationships between fund managers (General Partners) and institutional investors deploying capital into venture and growth-stage opportunities.
We collaborate with a broad range of fund managers, from emerging climate-first funds to industry-defining pioneers and collaborate with institutions across the capital stack, including family offices, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and corporate venture arms.
Our events are invite-only and intentionally curated, featuring a uniquely high LP-to-GP ratio to ensure authentic capital connections, not just conversation.
We believe that investing within Planetary Boundaries isn’t niche, it’s the future backbone of resilient growth. Our role is to help capital find its highest use and to support the ecosystem that gets us there.
Our mission is to raise
the capital stack for Climate Tech VC and other Venture verticals alligned with planetary boundaries.
