The Climentum perspective

Backing hard tech for a new Europe

Mission

Vision

Why now

We provide catalytic capital to un-hyped, early stage climate hard tech companies solving real industrial problems.

Our mission is to invest with conviction at key inflection points where strong fundamentals meet long term decarbonisation impact and back ventures with the potential to scale at the core of high emitting sectors.

Investment Focus & Model

Early-stage capital for European hard tech

From early commercialisation to scale-up, we invest in capital-efficient ventures across Europe's core industrial regions, focusing on the stages, sectors, and systems where impact and return align.

Ticket size

We invest €1-5M in initial rounds, with follow-on capacity of up to €10M per company.

 Our capital structures are built for hard tech: from first-of-a-kind deployments to full-scale commercialisation.

Stage focus

We invest at the Seed and Series A stages, where capital makes the biggest difference in getting hard tech to market.

Geography

We focus on Europe’s strongest industrial and innovation hubs:

 Nordics, DACH and the rest of Europe.

 Our footprint follows deep tech excellence and climate urgency.

Focus sectors

We target sectors with the highest CO₂ impact and hardest decarbonisation challenges:

 Energy systems, industrial processes, mobility, and the built environment.

Hard Tech Scaling Journey

Financial, Operational & Commercial Value Creation

We support founders through the complex journey of building industrial climate tech. We support across three core dimensions:

Financial scaling

We help founders navigate multi-round funding with a clear capital roadmap, investor alignment, and risk-aware structuring. From FOAK to Series B and beyond, we bring access to top-tier co-investors and public-private capital stacks.

Operational scaling

We work with teams to optimise manufacturing, automate processes, and secure resilient supply chains.
 From pilot line to scaled production, we help ensure the right technical decisions are matched with the right industrial partnerships.

Commercial scaling

We guide ventures through market entry, customer development, and commercial validation. This includes go-to-market strategy, partnership models, and pricing structures that make sense for industrial customers.

Revolutionary fund structure combining financial excellence with measurable climate impact, setting new standards for Article 9 venture capital across Europe's industrial transformation.

Rethinking venture incentives

VC shouldn't reward returns alone. To move the needle on climate, capital must be tied to outcomes that matter, like verified emissions cuts.
