Recent activity

Energy Impact Partners in the news

Similar firms

Volo Earth Ventures$500K–$5M

Early-stage climate investor using a 12,000+ startup proprietary database and hedge-fund-style quantitative screening instead of relationship sourcing, often taking board seats (96%) and offering Rocky Mountain Institute sector expertise.

Climate Capital$25K–$250K

Rolling micro-fund and syndicate that mobilizes 2,000+ operator and angel LP co-investors into a broad distribution and mentorship network for climate startups.

Clean Energy Ventures$500K–$15M

Clean Energy Ventures funds disruptive, capital-light technologies and business model innovations that reshape how we produce and consume energy. Since 2005, the leadership team has invested in 40+ climate tech startups with the potential to substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The firm requires every investment to demonstrate 2.5 gigatons of CO2 mitigation potential using their proprietary calculator. More than 60% of the investment team holds advanced science or engineering degrees to provide hands-on technical support. Their track record includes only ~15% write-offs in hardware-focused cleantech, unusually low for a sector where 90%+ of post-2007 funded companies failed to return capital.

Breakthrough Energy Ventures$500K–$50M

A $1+ billion climate fund backed by ultra-high-net-worth individuals like Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and Jack Ma, with an unusually long 20-year investment horizon and a requirement that portfolio companies can avoid at least 500 million tons of CO2 emissions annually by 2050. The fund combines deep technical expertise from former ARPA-E leaders and scientists with access to a broader Breakthrough Energy ecosystem of policy, advocacy, and deployment programs, making it a gold standard validator for technically ambitious climate hardware companies.

Prelude Ventures$100K–$5M

Prelude Ventures manages capital exclusively for the climate-focused Simons family, creating a single-LP structure that demands strict venture returns from a 100% climate portfolio while applying a hard "no fossil fuels" rule that rejects any technology making oil, gas, or coal extraction cheaper or longer-lived. The firm combines deep technical operating experience with climate activism roots and has invested continuously through climate tech's "dark years" since 2009, positioning itself as a climate generalist comfortable with high capital intensity and long hardware timelines across the entire low-carbon economy.
