About this grant
Kopa Ventures describes itself as an early-stage venture capital fund backing European climate tech startups across energy, mobility, nature and carbon technology. The fund was founded by people with entrepreneurial roots in wind and solar parks and has invested since 2017, with multiple exits and an IPO in its portfolio. Its stated mission is to help early-stage start-ups build energy, mobility, nature and carbon solutions for climate-positive change. The fund says it assesses environmental impact alongside financial returns, reviewing greenhouse gas metrics as well as biodiversity and resource-management KPIs. It also offers founder support through a network of partners, industry experts, potential customers and follow-on investors. This is equity investment rather than a grant.
