What We Do
We are stewards of our founders’ journeys.
There is no greater challenge, or greater opportunity, than the transition to a circular economy.
To seize this opportunity and accelerate the transition, we have assembled a team of experienced business and technology leaders, many of whom have pioneered sustainable innovation in some of the largest companies in the world. Now, we are leveraging our leadership approach and collective expertise to scale the ambitions of climate startup and scaleup businesses across five sectors: Energy, Health, Real Estate, Food and Transportation.
We do not merely invest in our startups. We provide a comprehensive system to nurture and empower companies throughout their lifecycle.
The journey with us starts in one of our accelerator programs, where we introduce founders to our proprietary ‘Dreams & Details’ strategy framework and a global mentor network.
- ReGen for Startups
(Pre-Seed to Seed-stage founders) - ReGen for Scaleups
(Seed to Series A companies) - Climate Tech Catalyzer
(Seed to Series B startups from Denmark)
We support ReGen and Climate Tech Catalyzer companies with funding as well as providing bespoke investments into unique, network-generated climate opportunities, from pre-seed to Series A.
When our founders graduate from one of our accalerator programs, we match them with one of our ‘Kaplaks’— a senior advisor and global business leader who offers:
- Subject matter expertise
- Leadership experience
- Connectivity to their global networks
