What 2150 does

2150 is a London-headquartered venture capital firm founded in 2021 that invests in early-stage climate technology companies reshaping urban infrastructure across energy, industry, materials, and the built environment. The firm operates two Article 9 SFDR-compliant funds — Fund I (€270M, closed October 2021) and Fund II (€210M, closed January 2026) — for combined assets under management of €500 million. Its core activity is Series A investing with €5–6 million primary tickets, supplemented by material reserves for follow-on rounds; the portfolio spans 28 companies whose solutions are deployed in 100+ countries and collectively mitigate more than one million tonnes of CO2e annually.

The firm is structured as part of the broader Urban Partners group, with Urban Partners Management Company S.A. (Luxembourg) serving as AIFM and Urban Partners Management UK Ltd as the FCA-regulated appointed representative. 2150 generates revenue through recurring management fees on AUM and, eventually, carried interest from portfolio realizations. Its differentiation rests on an operator-led team drawn from Google, Facebook, Rocket Internet, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and leading industrial groups; a proprietary Impact Framework for screening investments against the Paris Agreement and EU Taxonomy; Article 9 SFDR fund status; and high-credibility third-party endorsements (WEF Innovative Fund for Our Future; Diversity VC Standard).

2150 serves two customer sets: institutional and family-office limited partners (34 across Asia, Europe, and the US, including Danish sovereign fund EIFO, Novo Holdings, the European Investment Fund, US church groups, and European industrial family offices) who commit capital to the funds; and climate-tech founders building technologies for urban decarbonization who receive capital, operational support, and ecosystem access. Go-to-market is sales-led (direct LP fundraising and direct deal origination), with thought-leadership channels (Medium, WEF, industry conferences) and partnerships (Diversity VC, Venture Climate Alliance, Future VC) supporting pipeline and brand.

Direct peers

• Lowercarbon Capital: US-based climate tech venture firm investing across energy, industry, and built environment. Highly comparable as a specialist climate VC writing checks at the growth stages and competing for the same founder pool that 2150 targets in urban decarbonization.
• Energy Impact Partners: Global venture firm investing in companies shaping the energy transition with a strategic LP base of utilities and energy companies. Comparable to 2150 in climate focus, industrial LP relationships, and the use of operational expertise to support portfolio companies.
• Clean Energy Ventures: Early-stage venture fund backing climate tech founders commercializing transformative technologies. Directly comparable in stage focus (pre-seed and seed) and climate/clean tech mandate, though 2150 typically leads at Series A.
• Planet A Ventures: Europe-based early-stage climate VC investing in founders solving environmental challenges. Closely comparable in geographic focus (Europe), climate tech mandate, and fund stage, and is a co-investor alongside 2150 in companies like Gigaton.
• Congruent Ventures: Climate tech venture fund investing in companies decarbonizing the largest emitting sectors. Comparable in its focus on industrial decarbonization and built environment, with similar check sizes and Series A stage focus.
• DCVC (Deep Capital Ventures Coalition): Deep tech venture firm investing in computational and materials science companies tackling climate, among other deep tech areas. Comparable in deploying deep technical expertise to back transformative science-based climate solutions, with overlap in 2150's industrial and materials bets.
• Pale Blue Dot: Climate VC firm investing in early-stage companies with potential to massively reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Closely comparable in climate-only mandate, Series A focus, and European LP base.
• VoLo Earth Ventures: Climate-focused venture fund backing early-stage companies with high-impact emissions reduction potential. Comparable in climate-only thesis, early-stage check size, and emphasis on measurable impact outcomes similar to 2150's Impact Framework.

Broad incumbents

• Breakthrough Energy Ventures: Bill Gates-backed climate VC fund investing in companies that can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Operates with much larger fund sizes and broader thematic scope, but competes directly with 2150 for top-tier climate tech founders.

Others

• European Investment Fund (EIF): EU-based fund of funds and investor in venture capital and climate tech. Listed here because EIF is an LP in 2150's Fund II and represents the broader climate-aligned institutional capital pool that 2150 both draws from and competes within for European climate deals.
