Firm Overview

We invest in and accelerate global pre-seed and seed stage climate tech startups across Energy, Mobility, Cities and Frontiers

Seed stage climate tech is the world's most attractive asset class. Climate change is real, and it will be profitable to fix it. However, capital markets have been focused on late-stage ventures. This has created a global gap in early-stage venture capital. Katapult has built a system to invest in and accelerate these companies. We have unfair advantages in our dealflow and accelerator program. Our scouting process lets us look at thousands of companies per year, and we invest in the top teams. Then we take startups through our accelerator program, which is focused entirely on impact, fundraising, and growth.  The value of this investment system is compounding, allowing us to work with exceptional founders and co-investors. By targeting mainly post-revenue companies we significantly de-risk our portfolio.   

Katapult runs a digital accelerator program built for seed stage startups. This sets us apart from most accelerators and climate tech investors in two meaningful ways: Accelerator: - We typically invest €200k-500k into companies raising €1-2m on €5-20m valuations. This is later stage than most accelerators. - This lets us work with higher quality post-revenue seed startups. More expensive, but much better value. - This system has developed over time, built on our insight. We discovered that going slightly later stage increased program value and company performance on both impact and financial metrics. Seed climate tech: - Our network and dealflow allows us to see several thousand companies per year. This reach is hard to replicate for others. - Our accelerator program allows for a scalable, reliable and demonstrable value-add for 20-25 new companies every year to our portfolio. - LPs balance risk by getting exposure to a global portfolio of companies.
