About this grant
Radicle Impact Partners is an early-stage venture capital firm focused on investing in companies with systems change potential in climate solutions and fair finance. In climate solutions, the firm targets companies addressing sustainable and just resource use, grid modernization, circular economy, electrification and mobility, environmental and urban intelligence, regenerative agriculture, and plant-based protein and cellular agriculture. The firm addresses the urgent need to decarbonize the economy while tackling the largest sources of emissions: 50% from buildings and industry, 20-30% from food, and 14% from transportation. Beyond decarbonization, the firm emphasizes re-carbonization opportunities in soil restoration, representing over 500 gigatons of lost CO2 equivalent from topsoil losses. The firm also invests in fair finance companies focused on disaggregation of traditional banking, improved security and privacy, consumer agency, digital wallets, financial inclusion, farmer-centric financial services, and carbon markets with guardrails. The firm aims to address systemic inequalities in the financial system, including the poverty premium paid by low-income communities and the perpetuation of climate change through fossil fuel financing by major banks.
