Berq Capital is an early-stage investment firm established in 2015, headquartered in Toronto, Canada, with a dedicated focus on green technology, agriculture, water, and energy sectors. They specialize in providing seed and Series A funding to startups that exhibit the potential for positive environmental impact and sustainable growth. Berq Capital is actively engaged in creating, building, and advising early-stage green-tech companies, harnessing nearly 15 years of experience in fostering startups in the green sector. They pride themselves on being mavericks of green sector entrepreneurship, emphasizing a hands-on approach by assessing technologies and developing execution plans for projects they are involved with. Their investment strategy places substantial importance on macro-scale trends and innovative green technologies that address global challenges such as food security, water conservation, and efficient energy storage. Berq Capital's focus includes agriculture, where they seek solutions for the predicted global food shortages due to the expected doubling of food demand by 2050. They are also invested in advancing technologies that conserve and efficiently use water resources, especially given the increasing scarcity of fresh water supplies with changing global climates. In the energy sector, they address the intermittent supply challenges posed by renewable energy sources through new developments in energy storage technologies. The firm collaborates with ambitious, goal-oriented individuals who value impact and are working on revolutionary, scalable technologies that can grow to a $100M business within 5 years. They are interested in markets with a minimum annual growth of 5% and technologies that offer a clear path to an exit event such as an IPO. Berq Capital extends an invitation to startups that recognize themselves in this description to join their portfolio, and to investors who share their vision, to reach out and explore collaboration opportunities.
