About

Approach
We put founders first and place impact at our core. This philosophy is reflected in everything we do.
Founders are at the center of our investment approach. As entrepreneurs ourselves, we have deepest admiration for founders, working tirelessly on innovative solutions for a better tomorrow. Knowing the demands of the entrepreneurial path, we take great pride in supporting you along this journey.
Blue Impact is set up as an evergreen vehicle, meaning that all returns are automatically re-deployed to support new cohorts of entrepreneurs. With this structure, invested capital is multiplied, short term incentives are eliminated, and a full commitment to our philosophy is built in.
Focus
We embrace risk and uncertainty, backing companies at pre-seed and seed stages across five key decarbonisation themes.
Blue Impact invests in five themes:
- Decarbonising our energy system
- Enabling emission free transportation
- Transforming industry
- Producing sustainable food
- Constructing smart buildings.
We focus on pre-seed and seed stage investments, with no geographic restriction - climate change is a problem without borders. Reinventing our economy requires massive infrastructure change and so we lean into the solutions that both hardware and software can provide.
Team
We are a team of company builders and investors, passionate about supporting climate centric entrepreneurs.
