About Earthshot Ventures

Our team invests where powerful technology waves – like AI, energy, materials, and robotics – intersect with the potential to deliver massive climate benefits.  

We invest in Pre-Seed to Series B opportunities across any geography, seeking companies that win because they are cheaper, better, or faster than the status quo. We look for outlier founders with unique knowledge of the markets they’re tackling, drawing on go-to-market playbooks proven in tech, energy, and other scaled industries. Once we invest, we support companies through our Earthshot and Elemental teams with deep networks and trusted relationships with customers, investors, policymakers, and business leaders. 

If you’re building a company, please reach out. We’d love to meet you.

Built as a sister fund to Elemental Impact

Elemental Impact is purpose-built to mobilize catalytic and institutional capital into high-impact climate opportunities. We integrate philanthropic, government, and private investment capital to systematically de-risk and scale technologies across broad areas such as energy security, supply chain resilience, and industrial decarbonization. This structure functions as a force multiplier.

Elemental operates as a family of nonprofit and for-profit investment vehicles, allowing us to deploy the right form of capital at the right stage of commercialization. Our model creates a proprietary pipeline, reduces technology and deployment risk, and enables us to build relationships across the ecosystem at scale. The Earthshot Ventures strategy is designed to target competitive financial returns alongside measurable environmental impact.

Elemental Impact (501c3) serves as the platform’s innovation engine. Through catalytic capital and project deployment in real communities, Elemental pilots new investment theses, identifies structural market gaps, and validates emerging technologies before broader private market participation. This approach helps crowd in venture, growth equity, infrastructure, and credit capital as technologies move from demonstration to scale.

In 2021, we launched Earthshot Ventures, our early-stage venture strategy focused on software, AI, and critical systems accelerating industrial efficiency and decarbonization. The fund invests at moments of strong “why now” inflection — where technology readiness, market tailwinds, and customer demand converge.As the market evolves, so does the platform. We will continue developing complementary vehicles designed to create a best-in-class experience for startup founders, while expanding the opportunity set for institutional investors and philanthropic capital.

As part of the Elemental family, we tap into a global network of operators, investors, and builders to help founders move faster and scale with purpose. Each organization is independently structured, and together they enable more capital and support to founders with the right financial instruments at the right time.
