Zero Carbon Capital

Zero Carbon Capital is solving the biggest challenges of decarbonisation with pre-seed and seed investments in ambitious teams building hard-science solutions across Europe. The Zero Carbon team is based in London and Berlin. 

“We invest in founders at the earliest stage, backing bold ideas that could really move the needle in reducing emissions. A strong investment ecosystem is essential because it enables early-stage innovations to mature into scalable, impactful solutions. Without this support, many transformative ideas would struggle to move beyond concept, limiting our ability to address climate challenges. Pre-seed capital plays a unique role in helping founders take big risks, attract talent, and unlock follow-on funding, but we need the rest of the ecosystem to deliver the follow-on funding, customers and services that our portfolio companies will need to bring real change within reach”.
