Planet A: Pioneering Green Tech Investment with Scientific Rigor

Planet A is a distinguished venture capital fund committed to fostering a sustainable economy by investing in European green tech startups. The fund focuses on companies poised to deliver a significant positive environmental impact, aligning business growth with planetary boundaries. Planet A's investment strategy is unique, integrating a rigorous scientific approach to ensure genuine, quantifiable impact across its portfolio.

The firm specializes in early-stage investments, typically from Pre-Seed to Series A, with initial ticket sizes ranging from €0.5 to €5 million. Planet A actively seeks scalable businesses with demonstrable impact in four critical areas: climate mitigation, waste prevention, resource efficiency, and biodiversity protection. Its investment scope covers diverse sectors within the EU taxonomy, including agriculture, forestry & food, construction & real estate, energy & heat, manufacturing, transport & mobility, and water, waste & remediation.

A core differentiator for Planet A is its in-house science team. This team conducts comprehensive life cycle assessments (LCAs) to quantify the environmental impact of potential investments, holding the power to veto investments if a significant, positive, and quantifiable impact cannot be confirmed. Beyond capital, Planet A provides extensive support through its network of industry experts, scientists, and experienced entrepreneurs, helping founders scale their innovative solutions. The fund also champions diversity, equality, and inclusion, actively assessing founding team diversity as an investment criterion and supporting portfolio companies in building inclusive cultures.
