Thesis
Their core mission is to invest in companies that achieve significant profitability while actively combating the climate crisis. The firm's investment thesis is grounded in the belief that climate solutions must be economically viable. Lowercarbon Capital focuses on three key areas: reducing new CO₂ emissions, removing existing carbon from the atmosphere, and developing technologies for planetary cooling. They target companies developing technologies to cut greenhouse gas emissions across energy, transportation, industrial materials, and agriculture, with a particular emphasis on carbon removal and climate adaptation/resilience technologies, including geoengineering. Typical check sizes range from $1M-$5M for seed stage and $5M-$15M+ for Series A, with capacity for larger checks and growth-stage follow-ons. While primarily focused on the United States, they also engage in deals in the UK and Europe.
