About this grant
Imperative Ventures Core Fund invests in hard technology decarbonization startups during critical phases of commercialization and scale-up. The fund addresses the imperative gap in funding between seed and growth stages, targeting companies that are built to scale from inception and able to compete in the largest markets globally including energy, manufacturing, transportation, construction, and agriculture. The fund provides strategic capital alongside deep expertise and networks across industries to help founders navigate critical scale-up inflection points and execute the path to commercialization. The investment thesis is centered on the principle that without scale there is no impact, focusing on companies solving enormous opportunities in the energy transition without compromising cost or performance.
