The Climate Impact Fund makes strategic investments in early stage cleantech startups that have high potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The fund is fueled by philanthropic capital from individuals and foundations that are driven to have an impact and believe in the power of innovation and entrepreneurship.

Climate Impact Fund

The most promising climate tech companies of today create the climate impact of tomorrow. When they have guidance and resources, they realize this potential and make notable environmental and social strides to save our climate.

Our Innovators

VertueLab provides support to early-stage clean tech startups through our two accelerators, Cascadia CleanTech Accelerator and 45Camp.
