Climate venture firm 2150 successfully closed its €210 million second fund, boosting total assets to €500 million. The firm targets technology reshaping urban systems and powering sustainable cities. Its investments focus on critical climate solutions across energy, industrial decarbonization, and advanced manufacturing. Fund II supports innovators in areas like electrified industrial heat pumps and direct air capture. This capital flow signals robust market confidence in impactful climate tech for global prosperity and planetary health, addressing urgent sustainability challenges with scalable, economically competitive solutions.
London-based venture firm 2150 has achieved a major financial milestone. Its second fund, Fund II, is now officially closed. The firm secured €210 million in new capital. This brings 2150’s total assets under management (AUM) to a substantial €500 million. The firm champions technology driving sustainable change in urban environments and powering industries. This capital injection underscores a robust commitment to global climate action.
2150’s mission is clear. Cities generate 80% of global prosperity. They also offer the greatest opportunity for sustainable progress. The firm backs founders developing transformative solutions. These span energy, industrial decarbonization, advanced manufacturing, mobility, and comprehensive urban systems. This strategic focus targets high-impact, scalable technologies for a sustainable future.
The new fund’s success arrives amidst a challenging climate fundraising landscape. Yet, 2150 attracted significant interest. Its investor base includes a diverse mix of financial institutions and family offices. These LPs span Europe, North America, and Asia. Notable participants include Viessmann Generations Group, Novo Holdings, and the Danish sovereign fund EIFO. The US-based Church Pension Group also joined. This broad support validates 2150’s investment model.
Firm partners highlight continuity and a proven track record. Many Fund I anchors re-committed. New LPs joined after observing the firm’s operational success. 2150 demonstrated its ability to source and secure impactful deals. It showed portfolio companies achieving significant follow-on rounds. The firm built a strong transatlantic portfolio. This was achieved without a permanent US presence. Its portfolio companies now operate at substantial scale.
2150’s portfolio boasts impressive metrics. Its 27 companies generate combined annual revenues exceeding $1 billion. They employ over 4,500 people globally. Crucially, they report climate impacts measured at megatonne scale. These are not merely nascent ideas. They are businesses delivering real-world change.
The firm emphasizes backing economically competitive climate solutions. It rejects a "green premium" approach. Technologies must be cheaper, faster, or better over time. This principle guides all investment decisions. It ensures sustainability without sacrificing market viability.
Investing in "hard tech" is central to 2150’s strategy. Unlike pure software startups, these ventures require significant capital. The firm designs investments from day one to access diverse funding sources. This includes non-dilutive financing, like debt. For every euro of venture capital, portfolio companies attracted an additional €0.75 in debt. This capital supports working capital, factory build-outs, and product financing. Such foresight is critical for capital-intensive climate technologies.
Fund II has already initiated several key investments. AtmosZero manufactures electrified industrial heat pumps. GetMobil operates a refurbished electronics marketplace. Metycle provides a metals recycling and trading platform. Mission Zero Technologies develops direct air capture technology. Three further investments remain unannounced. These illustrate the fund's immediate deployment of capital into innovative climate solutions.
2150 operates as an Article 9 fund. This classification falls under the EU’s Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR). It signifies a stringent commitment to environmentally sustainable investments. Every investment must qualify under this strict regulatory regime. This approach prevents greenwashing. It ensures all ventures deliver positive planetary or societal impact. The firm avoids extractives, weapons, and technologies causing significant harm.
Several critical areas define 2150's investment focus. Cooling technology is a major priority. Global energy demand for cooling will soon exceed that of data centers. It represents a rapidly growing source of emissions. Water management also remains a significant theme. Solutions address floods, droughts, and contamination by microplastics and PFAS.
Industrial energy management offers vast scaling opportunities. 2150 has seen numerous companies in this space. Many leverage AI to optimize energy use across factories, logistics centers, and cold-storage facilities. Algorithms enhance industrial systems and machinery efficiency. This sector drives immediate, measurable impact. Demand drivers like sustainable aviation fuel mandates and carbon pricing further shape investment decisions.
2150’s successful close mirrors a broader trend. Capital formation in European climate, energy, and industrial decarbonization is accelerating. Comparable activity includes Berlin-based Future Energy Ventures, which closed a €205 million fund. Barcelona-headquartered Suma Capital raised €210 million for industrial decarbonization. Other mid-sized and early-stage funds, like Índico Capital Partners and Rubio Impact Ventures, also secured significant capital.
This collective movement represents substantial disclosed funding commitments. It highlights the vast capital flowing into urban, energy, and industrial climate technologies. 2150’s leadership team drives this vision. Jacob Bro, Christian Jolck, Rahul Parekh, and Christian Hernandez lead a 17-member team. They operate from offices in London and Copenhagen.
The firm invests at the Series A stage. It seeks proven products or pilots. Demonstrable revenue or early traction is preferred. Strong teams are essential. They must possess diverse expertise, from PhDs to commercial leads. This approach targets immediate, scalable climate impact.
2150 is not just investing in technology. It is investing in a sustainable future for cities and industries worldwide. Its latest fund close reinforces its position as a key player in the global climate tech ecosystem. The focus remains on solutions that are not only green but also economically powerful. This dual mandate drives its continued success. The firm continues to seek out the next generation of climate innovators. Their goal is clear: build a better, more sustainable planet, one city and industry at a time.
