Anthropocene Ventures

Anthropocene Ventures is a venture capital firm dedicated to investing in early-stage climate tech companies that utilize hard science and innovative engineering to create a global economy more closely aligned with the Earth's ecology. The firm focuses on pre-seed, seed, and Series A investments, targeting undercapitalized climate verticals and exponential technology solutions. Their investment strategy emphasizes sectors such as renewable energy, decarbonization, and alternative materials, with a particular interest in water, the built environment, and emerging technologies expected to gain prominence in the coming years. The team comprises experienced professionals with backgrounds in founding, scaling, and investing in startups, with a specific emphasis on climate-focused ventures over the past five years. Their approach combines decades of success in the industry, aiming to identify and develop solutions that address the urgent challenges posed by climate change. By focusing on early-stage investments, Anthropocene Ventures seeks to support companies that will be investable by larger institutions in the next 2-4 years, emphasizing high multiples of invested capital and ownership percentages at these stages. The firm also anticipates a high number of mergers and acquisitions within its portfolio after Series A, aiming to minimize dilution for its investors. Their philosophy centers on reindustrializing the planet brick by brick, rather than wholesale replacement of existing value and supply chains, recognizing that deep tech time to market has been drastically reduced due to exponential technologies. The team is committed to helping founders grow their businesses, not just their technologies, and to introducing them to global markets, especially in Asia. They collaborate with Series A and above firms to support portfolio companies as they scale. Through this approach, Anthropocene Ventures aims to drive meaningful impact in the fight against climate change by supporting innovative companies that align economic activities with ecological sustainability.
