SOUTH ASIA'S FIRST EARLY-STAGE CLIMATETECH SEED FUND

The Climate Seeds Fund is a venture fund set up to create a curated-index for investments in early-stage climatetech startups in South Asia.

The fund’s key Clean Energy partner is New Energy Nexus (USA), along with a host of supportive follow-on linked-funding partners.

Climate Seeds, established in 2021 will take a slate-based approach for seed and pre-Series A stage investments in promising climatetech startups in India and the rest of South Asia.

The investments will primarily be made in climatetech startups that have progressed through the accelerators run by Climate Collective Foundation, the fund's non-profit acceleration partner, which has been supporting startups in South Asia since 2016.

The Climate Seeds Advantage

First-looks at large deal-flow
Via our accelerator partner(s), we take a programmatic approach to access the largest number of ‘first-looks’ at climatetech startups in South Asia

Global follow-on Linked Funding network
Since we only support startups in the early-stages of growth, we understand that our impact will be limited unless we work hard to get startups access to follow-on funding and growth support, Therefore, we are continuously building what will be a class-leading global follow-on Linked Funding (Series A) network

Climate Seeds would comprise of sub-funds focused on specific domains, which would allow investors to come into individual sub-funds based on where their interest is.

For the first year, we would have two sub-funds:

Climate Change

Examples of investments: Technologies and software for renewable energy power plant data analytics & optimization, site selection, risk assessment, and including climate-fintech, carbon-market platforms etc. Software and platforms for EV fleet management, BMS, charging infra management etc.

Circular Economy

Examples of investments: Plastic data solutions for EPR regulations, technologies for waste upcycling, etc.
