Climentum Capital Overview

Climentum Capital is a venture capital firm dedicated to investing in European early-stage companies that are actively reducing CO₂ emissions within industrial sectors. Established in 2020, the firm focuses on hardware and deep-tech solutions, augmented by software, which they refer to as 'hard-tech'. Their investment strategy targets six key sectors with the highest potential for CO₂ emission reductions: Next Generation Renewables, Food & Agriculture, Industry & Manufacturing, Buildings & Architecture, Transportation & Mobility, and Waste & Materials. Climentum Capital operates across Europe, with offices in Copenhagen, Berlin, Stockholm, and Oslo, and primarily invests in Seed and Series A stages, offering initial investments ranging from €1 to €5 million. A distinctive feature of their approach is a double incentives structure, where both CO₂ emission reductions and financial returns are considered, ensuring that investments contribute meaningfully to climate mitigation efforts. The firm's team is based in some of Europe's strongest climate tech hubs: Berlin, Copenhagen, Stockholm, and Oslo, and is known for its gender-balanced partner group consisting of two women and two men. Climentum Capital's mission is to provide catalytic capital for companies to pass key inflection points, achieve full scale, and contribute substantially to mitigating climate change.
