The VC Firm

Early capital for biomass technology startups.

Less than 5% of climate-tech funding goes to biomass

Biomass is one of the most versatile renewable energy sources on Earth. A feedstock capable of replacing fossil fuels across multiple sectors.

The Green Oil

SAF, renewable diesel, bioethanol, bio-oil, and other biomass-to-liquid fuels.

The Green Coal

Wood pellets, torrefied biomass (black pellets), hydrochar, and biochar.

The Green Gas

Biogas, biomethane, and syngas.

We focus exclusively on technologies that expand the potential of biomass. 

Technologies that unlock new markets from biomass feedstocks, such as black pellets, bioethanol (2G), and biomaterials.

Software and infrastructure that improve operational efficiency across the biomass supply chain, such as AI-integrated ERPs for contract management, certification automation, and business planning systems.

Platforms that improve market coordination and liquidity, such as biomass trading apps and carbon credit trading marketplaces.
