Climentum Capital

About The Fund

Climentum Capital is a venture capital fund focused on investing in European early-stage companies that offer solutions for decarbonization and are committed to cutting emissions at the core of industry. Their investment thesis is underpinned by the need for industrial transformation to mitigate climate change, primarily through hardware and deep-tech solutions supported by software, an approach they term as hard-tech. Climentum Capital aims to contribute to CO2 emission reduction by primarily targeting high-impact, hard-tech companies within six sectors that exhibit the most significant potential for reducing emissions. Although they invest across Europe, Climentum Capital has a particular interest in the Nordics, leveraging offices in Stockholm and Copenhagen, and in the DACH region, especially Germany, with an office in Berlin. Their investment strategy involves taking both lead and follower positions in investment consortia, with initial investments ranging from €100,000 to €5,000,000, with a sweet spot of €1,500,000, primarily in Seed and Series A funding rounds. Unique to their model is the double incentives structure, where financial carry is indexed both on CO2 emissions reductions and financial returns. This structure positions Climentum Capital as one of the first venture capital firms to embed true climate impact in their investment framework. Committed to progressive team culture, Climentum operates as a digital, remote-first organization with a gender-balanced partnership group and a footprint across some of Europe's strongest climate tech hubs, including Oslo. Their specialties include Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series A investments, focusing on the AgroTech, CleanTech, Food & Beverage, and Mobility industries. Climentum also stresses the importance of a balanced gender representation within their team, aiming to set an example in the venture capital space.
