Climate change investor, Climate VC, an 80% angel backed fund which launched only last week, has made three new investments. Offgrid.Finance, Treeconomy and Deep.Meta are the latest UK-founded start-ups being supported to achieve Climate VC’s aim of removing a gigatonne of CO2e from global emissions through investments in high-potential, high-impact, climate-focussed businesses.

Climate change investor, Climate VC has launched to exert a gigatonne scale impact on climate change in the next decade and influence a sea change in the way the venture capital sector approaches climate investing.  The fund has a number of high profile angel backers including serial founder investor Doug Scott.

Investing in start-ups throughout the UK, Climate VC is a specialist climate tech investor focused on finding and backing climate change start-ups that might have been overlooked by other VCs.
