Venture Capital is waking up to sustainability, and not a moment too soon.
From clean energy to circular economies, climate tech to regenerative agriculture, the next wave of unicorns will be solving real planetary problems.
Sustainability is no longer a niche, it's a necessity. According to PwC, climate tech investment represented over 14 cents of every venture dollar in 2023, with startups focused on decarbonization, nature-based solutions, and resource efficiency gaining momentum.
But capital alone isn't enough.
We need smart capital, VCs who bring not just funding, but a long-term vision, sustainability expertise, and an understanding of systemic risk.
It's time to ask: Are we backing ventures that are future-proof? Are we measuring returns in impact as well as IRR?
The intersection of venture capital and sustainability holds the potential to transform industries and regenerate the planet. Let's ensure we're scaling what truly matters.
