Fifth Season Ventures

Overview

Fifth Season Ventures is building a cleaner future by investing in early-stage startups. We seek inspired founders with rapidly scalable solutions in carbon management, sustainable agriculture, waste, green chemistry, water, and enhanced logistics. We are entrepreneurs ourselves and understand how to drive growth and impact. \\Opportunity: Natural resource consumption and environmental damage will drive the defining investment themes of the coming decades. A booming middle class in the developing world will push the planet's production capacity and ecosystem to its limits. Global concern for these issues has moved from the fringe to the mainstream and concerned millennials will soon be the largest-earning generation. Corporations are already adjusting their behaviors and products to meet both consumer demands for sustainability and environmental constraints, but breakthrough technologies will be needed to transform unsustainable operations. This demand for innovation will reshape the cleantech startup landscape.\\Approach: Fifth Season Ventures has created a comprehensive framework to evaluate solutions to the world's most pressing environmental issues. Within this framework, we seek transformative startup technologies with clear commercial potential and outstanding entrepreneurial talent. Our collaborative approach provides support to rapidly scale these early stage companies into systemic solutions and successful investments.
