Thesis

Astarte Capital Partners LLP, founded in 2015 and based in London, is a specialist alternatives co-investment platform focused on sustainable real asset strategies with a global reach. Their investment thesis centers on natural capital and ESG-driven private market investments, targeting sectors influenced by climate change, population growth, and resource scarcity, including PropTech, Energy, CleanTech, agriculture, clean energy, water, transportation, and specialist real estate. Astarte acts as a strategic investor, providing anchor/seed LP capital, working capital, and fundraising support to operating experts and emerging managers. They employ a value-accretive approach using a proprietary ESG framework to foster sustainable asset development and support the next generation of asset managers. The firm seeks mid-market, value-add and opportunistic opportunities in infrastructure, energy transition, natural capital, and real estate, often in areas difficult to access due to scale or complexity. They partner with specialist operating experts to deliver strategies and attractive returns. Astarte is actively seeking new investments and is a signatory to the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI). While specific AUM figures are not disclosed, they raised GBP 4.4 million in a 2021 buyout round and have a total of $5.9 million raised across one funding round. Their team has over 300 years of collective experience. They also launched the Hyperion Hellenic Investment Fund (H2IF) for energy transition opportunities.
