No insights, overview, round-up, just a big shout out to an incredible team that brought Startup Discovery School Climate Fest to life at Impact Hub London in London. So much discussion concerning climate (tech), often feels abstract. We talk of the problem without reference to those currently facing the impact of climate change...right..now. Tech demo days are great, but we needed something more. Something that brings people together who view the challenge from different angles—entrepreneurs, investors, activists, curious folk, and anyone else interested. Climate Fest was the first attempt at convening this diverse group of people and long may it continue. A Shout Out 📣 A big shout out to Farrah Rainfly, who highlighted the great work Lifeafterhummus Community Benefit Society has done mobilising resources to retrofit community housing in Somerstown, London. Thanks to Kieron Boyle CEO of the Impact Investing Institute, who gave insights on *how* money can work better in supporting what is called 'the only transition' to net zero. Reuben Christian for leading us in 'Dream Rehab' session alongside our own Taz Latif. Another thanks goes to Radhika Srinivasan, who led us in a conversation around driving equitable transitions to net zero. And finally Margarita Skarkou, Nikki Gaddo FRSA and Ann Stevenson who joined me as we discussed convenience, consumerism and the circular economy. Onwards ⏩ #climatechange #climatetech #justtransition #team

🌍💡 Embracing Interoperability: The Evolution of Carbon Markets 💡🌍 The landscape of carbon markets is rapidly evolving, with a significant shift towards fungibility and interoperability. What does this mean? We (at the SoHo Global Climate Fund) spoke with leading climate fund manager, Charles Bedford of Carbon Growth Partners, to shed light on this important trend in the carbon markets. It's about creating seamless connections between compliance and voluntary markets, allowing for the exchange and recognition of carbon credits across borders and sectors. This trend marks a pivotal moment in our collective efforts towards combating climate change. By enabling carbon credits to be fungible and interoperable, we're fostering a more efficient and scalable approach to carbon pricing and emissions reduction strategies. Companies and organizations now have greater flexibility to participate in markets that align with their goals. #CarbonMarkets #ClimateAction #Fungibility #Interoperability #Sustainability #Innovation #GlobalImpact

I couldn’t be prouder to be a Venture Partner at Isomer Capital (aka the best European FoF - at least for me) as we just announced the launch of our pioneering £100m secondaries fund. This fund is dedicated to acquiring stakes from LPs in various VC funds, tapping into a massive and largely unexplored market. 🌟 Key Highlights: - Focused Investment: Primarily targeting stakes in VC funds, with selective investments in private companies. - Robust Funding: Already over 20% funded, thanks to strong support from Nordic family offices and a German foundation. - Market Potential: With a growing number of private tech companies and a VC liquidity crunch, Europe's VC secondaries market is poised for rapid growth. - Track Record: This isn’t Isomer’s first foray into the secondaries market. As a firm we’ve done several secondaries deals with portfolio companies and VC firms, including early-stage VC Seedcamp (in 2021) and mobility giant Bolt (in 2023). - Expert Team: Welcoming the amazing Omolade (Rachel) A., formerly of Coller Capital, as a principal to lead this initiative. 💡 Investment Strategy: - 65-75% of the fund will buy "LP interest" stakes in VC funds. - 15-25% will be directed towards stakes in companies. - Up to 15% reserved for flexible investment opportunities. 📈 Looking Ahead: We're targeting returns of 2-3x, with significant distributions expected in the next 4-7 years. As one of the few players in this space, we're not just participating in the market—we're driving it forward.

What questions are we asking when we look at new pre-seed climate investments? This was the answer from the LLM trained on our last 26 weeks of partner meetings. Some bits are unsurprising, like team questions or moats. But we spend A LOT of time trying to understand if there are real customers, which routinely leads us to unpack potential unit economics. Here's the complete response - Ability to generate both compelling financial returns and climate impact + If successful, can this company deliver a large enough exit to return the fund? + Does the environmental impact story go beyond just marketing greenwashing? + How do the actual carbon and pollution reduction numbers pencil out? Market size and growth potential + Is the total addressable market large enough to support a venture-scale outcome? + How quickly is the market growing and evolving? Strength of the founding team + Do the founders have relevant industry experience and strong entrepreneurial qualities? + Can they attract top talent, communicate their vision, and execute well? + Are they coachable and do they take feedback well? Competitive differentiation and defensibility + How is this company different from incumbents and other startups in the space? + Do they have a unique technology, business model, or go-to-market strategy? + Is their competitive advantage sustainable or could it be easily replicated? Technical and execution risk + How complex is the underlying technology and how much development risk remains? + Can the team actually build what they are pitching and scale it commercially? + What external dependencies or bottlenecks could impede their progress? Pathway to profitability and attractive unit economics + How will the company make money and are the unit economics attractive at scale? + How much capital is required to get to profitability and a successful exit? + Is this just a service business masquerading as a tech company? Customer validation and ability to sell the product + Who exactly is the target customer and what evidence is there of product-market fit? + Can they actually close enterprise sales deals or get consumers to adopt the product? + How long are customer sales cycles and how lumpy is the revenue? Overinflated valuation and round dynamics + Is the valuation reasonable given the company's stage, traction, and market? + How competitive is the round? + Is there a risk of a down round if they raise too high of a valuation too soon?

Liquidity or exit planning is often taboo leading to many companies being ill prepared. Successful outcomes are years in the making - they start and end with proactive prep (e.g. getting your house in order, developing strong relationships with strategic partners, potential investors and advisors). With Scott Colvin & Paul Perrett we lay out some key actions you should embed now that can set you up for exit success and also make you a better run business today Big thanks to Bree Fedele 🖋

Lee Edwards, partner at Root VC, has a saying at his firm that “pro rata rights are earned, not given.” That may be a bit of a stretch since pro rata refers to a term that VCs put in their term sheets that gives them the right to buy more shares in a portfolio company during consequent funding rounds to maintain an ownership percentage and avoid dilution. Still, while these rights are not exactly “earned,” they can be expensive. One of the latest trends in VC investing these days are funds dedicated to helping seed VCs exercise their pro rata rights. #vc #capital #money #investment #venturecapital #investors #business #entrepreneurship

Why Now is the Time for HealthTech Founders to Engage with the New UK Government https://lnkd.in/dnPRU2iK > Engaging with government and policy makers is important – for ensuring you understand current or impending regulation, for getting the backing of important policy-shapers as you disrupt markets, and crucially, helping to create the soft power that can help your company’s favourability and growth. > Take a health scaleup. The Labour manifesto pledged to streamline public procurement, providing a faster route to get new products into the NHS. Incoming Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Wes Streeting, has expressed a strong belief in the necessity of public and private collaboration for increasing efficiency and solving the NHS crisis. Engaging with Streeting’s team now could help your health tech commercially, creating a clearer path for growth.

👨👩👧👦 The care economy is bigger than the US pharmaceutical industry and ripe for technological disruption but gets limited interest from VCs. At 3 Sisters Ventures (3SV), we recognise this huge opportunity, with the care space being a core focus for Dalia and me ever since we founded 3SV. I am therefore proud to announce that we are now working with the phenomenal Rachel Drapper on new research that will help improve understanding of the sector—so watch this space! 🔍 At 3SV, we also invest with an impact lens and are on a mission to close gender gaps, including the Gender Leisure Gap. Doing so starts by leveling the playing field when it comes to unpaid domestic work, and tech-enabled care is key in helping us achieve this. #careeconomy #venturecapital

Stop this removal-only obsession in the carbon markets. What kind of hare-brained approach is that? We need avoidance even more than we need removals. This article reminds me of the analogy I made a few months ago about a sinking boat. No amount of bailing water with buckets will save you if the hole in the hull is getting bigger. Remember, if deforestation was a country, it would be the world's third largest emitter. And no, you cannot just demand/legislate that poor rural people stop deforesting without providing alternative income. That is why forest carbon exists. It takes some form of totalitarian mindset (and/or total lack of understanding of rural economies)to think one can just ban things they do not like. https://lnkd.in/eCddBRwt

Fantastic report from the BeZero Carbon team quantifying the many benefits of a healthy carbon market. There is no silver bullet to achieve #netzero but putting a financial value on quality carbon assets, and allowing them to form part of an emission reduction strategy, is an important step towards incentivising climate positive behaviour. The success of the #carbonmarket can serve as a blueprint for other environmental asset classes, all of which will be needed for us to maintain a healthy and diverse natural ecosystem. 🌱 🌍

Highlighting: "The market for a bespoke solution like Holoride may be narrower than its founders once hoped." "No shit, Sherlock." This was a niche of a niche of a niche that I honestly never understood. Imagine starting with the people who are VR enthusiasts, and then reducing by the people who want VR in cars, and then the people who have recent year Audis, and then people in Germany (the USA was added later), and then the people who will buy a $700 semi-enterprise package that comes with access to only a dozen games, but also a $20 a month subscription. This is like 1% of 1% of 1% of 1% of 1% of 1%. The shocking thing is not that they ran out of funding. The shocking thing is that they EVER got any funding. Oh and keep in mind, all that fun stuff about VR being 6DoF, roomscale, body movements, arm movements, hand tracking? All gone. This is semi-3DOF locked in your seat holding a console style knock off bluetooth controller. The VR headset? HTC Vive Flow. The gamepad? 8BitDo Pro 2 Gamepad. The cars supported? Only the Audi A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, Q5, Q7, Q7, Q8, Audi e-tron, Audi e-tron Sportback, Audi e-tron GT* Nothing else. No other makes and models. Just a few Audis. Who does this?! Seriously? Its like developing a PC Game that can only be played by people in Madison, Wisconsin running Mac Pro towers built between 2009-2015, and they can play that game on Wednesday on odd dates of the month. Who does this?! This isn't a business. It's a boutique artisanal popup shop selling handcrafted farts to people who can't smell. It's just confusing. ----- UploadVR: "Holoride Insolvent As Investment Falls Through: 'Pioneering Is Painful'" (IAN HAMILTON) (10 MAY 2024) Holoride's founders say they've filed "for insolvency" after an investment round fell apart. The startup built a platform to present VR headset as in-car entertainment with demos offered at trade shows like CES showing off the concept and a partnership with Audi to sell it to for use in cars in Germany. Holoride CEO and co-founder Nils Wollny acknowledged making mistakes in a post on LinkedIn, that “pioneering is painful” and they "missed our first shot." Responding to questions from UploadVR, Wollny explained over direct message that some employees had been laid off “in February this year based on a new strategic direction. Our team's right-sizing was also based on terms we had agreed on with our planned lead investor.” “While our business operations continue, we are working with the provisional insolvency administrator to find a solution by the end of June to ensure the continued existence of holoride GmbH and conclude our strategic repositioning, which we have intensively worked on.” UploadVR: https://lnkd.in/g32pFPrA #vr #xr #holoride #puzzling

My email to a founder that I'd like to invest in, re: what makes Graham & Walker special: "Every fund has traditional 'value add', and so do we - big amplification channels, help with press, impressive network that we can name drop etc. But I don't think that's what makes us special. We're the fund you want on your side when things get hard. And they will, in fact, get hard. (And, somewhat ironically, if you don't believe things will get hard, then I don't think we'll want to invest in you). We are ride or die investors. We have a high tolerance for the early, ugly and messy. We're honest with you, but always kind. We shine when it's hard to talk to the rest of your investors. As proof points I offer what some of our founders have to say about us. And some of my writing, both in public (like our values, and the viral article about female founder takedowns), and in private (I'll forward you the email I sent to the whole portfolio late last year). Most importantly, I invite you to talk to any of our portfolio companies, particularly those who have had moments of struggle as well as moments of victory. I'm excited to be on your cap table. Our mission at Graham & Walker is to change the face of the Nasdaq by investing in female founders that can go the distance. I believe you might be one of them."

Gearing up for the Breakthrough Energy Summit this week, I was struck by founder Bill Gates’ quote: “Climate innovators should be given a stellar grade for their work in the lab, but in future years, we’ll all face a much harder practical exam — getting those innovations out into the real world.” This beautifully captures the value of a global corporate platform like Libra Group. I couldn’t be prouder that our 20 subsidiaries are growing with the future in mind, from purchasing fleets of eVTOLs to testing novel carbon capture technologies. Corporations have a critical role to play in the Clean Industrial Revolution - without adoption, we cannot move the world forward. If you haven’t yet read Breakthrough’s 2024 Transition Report, take a look - it’s excellent! https://lnkd.in/db4dSJWP #BESummit24

Last week was Mental Health Awareness Week - I spoke with Daniel from Balderton Capital and Hayley Hand from Better Society Capital on The Mindful VC podcast to share more on our approach to founder mental health. Here are a few of the key ways we're supporting our founders: 1. The Playfair Wellness Programme (https://lnkd.in/ebhaMdsP) which we've been running for the last four years 2. The Founder Mental Health Pledge for which we're proud to be one of 12 founding adopters. The clause expressly states that these VCs “support founders using a portion of the received funds specified in this term sheet to treat, at their discretion, the direct costs of caring for their mental well-being…as a legitimate, worthwhile, and encouraged business expense.” 3. Encouraging a close, 1-1 relationship with our founders from day one, putting us on the same side and creating safe spaces to share challenges and anxieties, not just the "up-and-to-the-right" successes. Thank you Chris Elphick and the British Private Equity & Venture Capital Association (BVCA) for organising a discussion around such an important topic. https://lnkd.in/eFB443B7 #founders #mentalhealth #startups #vc

I just want to big up Avion Gray and Samantha Rosenberg, founders of Belong, who were profiled in City AM this week for their innovative approach to mobilising a new generation of long-term investors. Belong's platform allows you to easily invest your excess cash savings, but also offers a boost loan feature, enabling you to double your investment to benefit from compound interest. Similar to taking out a mortgage, you can then pay off the loan in small instalments over time. It's a genius idea that encourages building wealth over the long-term, especially for those who may have lacked the confidence or motivation to do so in the past. Of course, investing comes with risks, but it also presents an opportunity to win big. Have a read of the full article on City AM! - https://lnkd.in/eu9K9sKy

I'm speaking at SuperVenture 2024 on the 5th of June in Berlin. The topic of the panel is emerging VC managers: time to shine or out of their depth? Are LPs fleeing to established names and those that cut their teeth during previous cycles? Or is now the time for emerging managers to bring something different to the table? Is volatility leading to true innovation and disruption? We’re on track to see approximately 44% of the total LP capital committed to US VC funds since the start of the year go to just two large established VC platforms, according to PitchBook data. While many established VCs maintain their allure, there is a subset of LPs who are making a deliberate choice to increase their allocations to specialist emerging VC managers - managers who have spun out from established funds and have an attributable track record, founders with deep operational experience turned funders or academics with deep domain expertise. There is non-trivial added complexity when it comes to emerging VC selection – given the large number of funds needed to be screened and the more complicated referencing and DD process. Data highlights how important it is for GPs to identify & back ‘big winners’ early on to drive fund returns. Typically, ~5% of invested capital in a few winners drives most of the return (>50%). The VC model is built around investing in early-stage companies each with the potential to more than return the whole fund. Who has the right to win? Who will the best founders (and LPs) decide to partner with? #SuperVenture #VC SuperReturn
