Regeneration.VC

What Regeneration.VC does

Regeneration.VC is a privately held, early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2020 and headquartered in Los Angeles, with additional operational presence in New York, London and Amsterdam. The firm invests in Consumer ClimateTech, defined as capital-efficient Seed and Series A companies (typical check size $1-3M) developing circular and regenerative solutions across fashion, food, electronics, packaging, personal care and home value chains. Its investment thesis targets 'Kick' technologies that improve material metabolism and 'Shift' technologies that reduce virgin material intake, oriented around planetary boundaries. The firm operates three fund vehicles: Regeneration VC Fund 1 LP (US), Regeneration Fund 2 CommV (Belgian SFDR-compliant private privak), and Sub-Ocean Fund, alongside a portfolio of over 40 companies including Notpla, Sulapac, Colorifix, Greyparrot, Cruz Foam and Ambient Photonics.

The firm's core proprietary asset is the CRISP (Circular Regenerative Impact and Sustainability Protocol), co-developed with the Circle Economy Foundation, which standardizes impact measurement across pre- and post-investment phases. Revenue is generated through conventional VC economics: management fees on committed capital across its fund vehicles, with future carried interest on portfolio exits. The firm raised institutional LP commitments including from WRAP, with event-stage participation from EIFO, InvestNL, Generation Investment Management and Brookfield AM indicating institutional engagement. Distribution to founders is conducted via direct enterprise field sales and sourcing relationships, supported by a multi-disciplinary team of 1-10 employees plus a 20+ member advisory board featuring Leonardo DiCaprio as Strategic Advisor and William McDonough among others. Marketing channels rely on content marketing (website, annual impact reports), LinkedIn, and high-profile conference presence at UNGA Climate Week NYC, WEF, COP and Nordic Circular Summit.
