## About Pachamama Ventures

Pachamama Ventures is a San Francisco-based venture capital firm backing breakthrough companies building for the 2nd Industrial Revolution — the foundational technologies driving the climate reindustrialization of the physical world.

We invest at the earliest stages, when conviction in a founder's vision matters more than traction. Our portfolio companies receive more than capital: they gain a partner with deep operational experience and direct access to Fortune 500 procurement relationships that accelerate commercial traction from day one.

Pachamama Ventures was founded on the belief that the most consequential climate solutions will be built at the intersection of advanced science and real-world industrial deployment. We back the founders making that happen.

We focus on pre-seed stage companies building in:

▪ Advanced Materials — novel inputs that make industrial processes cleaner, cheaper, and more resilient ▪ Energy Systems — generation, storage, and distribution technologies that decarbonize at scale ▪ Industrial Platforms — AI, software, and data infrastructure that optimize the physical economy

Our edge is commercial access. With 16 years of operating experience inside Fortune 100 companies — including Visa, PepsiCo, and American Airlines — our Managing Partner connects portfolio companies to enterprise procurement relationships that most early-stage funds cannot offer.

We are mission-aligned investors. We select partners who share our conviction that the reindustrialization of the global economy is both a generational business opportunity and an essential climate imperative.
