Superorganism Fund

Date: 2023

Asset Class: Venture Capital

Description:  Superorganism Fund is a target $25m venture fund focused on biodiversity and conservation tech.

Why We Invest: Superorganism is the first VC fund to focus exclusively on halting biodiversity loss. It does so by investing in three themes: i) extinction drivers: addressing the root causes of biodiversity collapse through sustainable agriculture, circular economy and pollution reduction; ii) nexus between climate and biodiversity: mitigation and adaptation through forest protection, soil health, and wildfire prevention; iii) enabling technology: scaling tech solutions like satellite imagery for monitoring biodiversity and biomanufacturing pollution. Moreover, actively nurtures a strong, multisectoral community. The Fund leverages a robust mentor network of 26 professionals from conservation organizations like The Nature Conservancy and major businesses like Google for diligence and portfolio support. The team actively fosters community through regular convenings of scientists, investors, and founders, enhancing collaboration and knowledge-sharing. Proving this is an investable space could have a catalytic effect in drawing capital to preserving biodiversity.
