Deep Tech or Safe Bets? Decoding Climate Funds Investment Strategies
The Ripple took a close look at where climate investment strategies are heading and how things have shifted lately. The chat dove into why LPs and GPs are rethinking their approach in Europe, the US, and new markets, especially in climate and tech funds.
Big takeaways:
- Strategies keep shifting from generalist to more focused investments.
- LPs want deeper proof before backing new managers.
- There’s a growing push for growth capital in Europe and emerging markets.
- Both tech and people skills matter more than ever in manager selection.
- Picking the right stage for investment is tricky, and everyone’s fine-tuning their plans.
- Small, early funds can be the right way to prove a concept.
The vibe? Ripple showed that success needs trust, teamwork, and a flexible mindset to keep up with fast changes in the climate investment world.
