Azolla Ventures

About Azolla Ventures

Azolla Ventures invests in early-stage technology companies with the potential for gigaton-scale climate impact. Azolla Ventures was created by Prime Coalition, a nonprofit organization that partners with philanthropists and other mission-driven investors to support market-driven innovations designed to catalyze, deepen, or accelerate solutions for climate change. The management company of Azolla Ventures also manages the Prime Impact Fund portfolio of companies. We come from diverse backgrounds, united by our north star of achieving climate impact. We are hands-on partners to founders in building businesses, constructing teams, engaging with communities, developing customers, and more – with an unwavering commitment to climate impact alongside diversity, equity, and inclusion. Investment criteria ▪ Impact We only consider solutions with the potential to reduce emissions at gigaton-scale CO2e by 2050. ▪ Additionality We invest in ventures at the earliest stages, and in overlooked climate verticals, to ensure we are playing a catalytic role. ▪ Commercial Potential We believe large-scale emissions reductions can only be achieved by leveraging billion-dollar markets, so the companies we support must have a pathway to breakaway commercial success.
