Description:  WovenEarth’s mission is to seek attractive, risk-adjusted returns by moving compelled capital into US early-stage climate tech venture. This new fund seeks to break down the barriers to investing in US early-stage climate tech, which remains difficult for many investors to enter due to the dynamic, technical, and emerging nature of the space. WovenEarth is a fund of funds. Fund I has $152M under management. Since 2022, WovenEarth Fund I has invested with 13 US-based early-stage climate tech venture fund managers that are generalist investors focused on decarbonization, as well as managers that have domain-focused funds on specific climate tech sub-sectors such as wildfire, water, agriculture, or digital solutions.
