Digital Climate VC: Early-Stage Mitigation + Adaptation Investments

Learn how Buoyant Ventures backs startups using digital tools to reduce emissions, scale climate solutions, & drive environmental impact.

Led by General Managing Director Amy Francetic, Buoyant Ventures seeks to invest in early-stage digital climate mitigation and climate adaptation-focused companies.

Below are two excerpts from the podcast.

"We are focused on early-stage digital climate tech solutions. We are looking for software and low-cost hardware that can be layered upon existing infrastructure. In addition to our digital focus, we are also unique in our focus on both climate adaptation and mitigation."

"I started working in the high-tech industry in California. My first job out of school was working at a video game company. I had a lot of fun and learned a lot about software. I then worked at Hasbro before running a toy company that we then sold to Lego in 2000. Around the same time, I was diagnosed with cancer which forced me to focus on what mattered to me. After beating cancer and having our daughters with my husband I decided to devote my career to the climate tech space given both the financial opportunity but more importantly the chance to make a positive impact on the world. In many ways, this is what I most respect about the young people looking to get into the space now. They have been able to have this dual mission of doing well financially while keeping the bigger impact picture in mind."

Here is the transcript summary of the podcast.
