Climentum Capital - Our genesis story

This is when he began assembling the rest of the team - Malin, Dörte and Stefan - to build our VC fund…

We’re a climate focused hard tech fund. This means that our portfolio companies follow a very different growth journey in comparison to software businesses, which is what most VCs have experience with. Our companies often need to start with building physical assets like production lines and factories, so they often experience challenges that are common to young infrastructure companies…

But ultimately my path to launching this Article 9 fund can be traced back to my childhood in West Africa, where I grew up in large houses while my neighbors were extremely poor. The injustice was impossible to ignore and it instilled a desire to create meaningful change. My whole family ended up working in different impact related areas as a result of this…
