What All Aboard does

All Aboard is a private investment fund and investor community organized to address the "missing middle" financing gap in climate technology, where capital needs outpace traditional venture appetite and precede infrastructure-fund risk tolerance. Founded in 2024 by Chris Anderson (TED's curator), the entity is structured as All Aboard Fund, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, and operates through two flagship initiatives: an annual private convening of approximately 150 leading climate investors featuring curated presentations from 20 scale-ready companies, and a collaborative co-investment fund targeting growth-stage climate technology companies.

The core product is All Aboard Fund I, a $300 million vehicle that co-invests alongside a pre-approved coalition of 18 top-tier venture, growth equity, and infrastructure investors including Breakthrough Energy, Khosla Ventures, DCVC, Clean Energy Ventures, Lowercarbon Capital, Spring Lane Capital, GenZero, Just Climate, and others. Coalition members commit capital alongside the fund when they lead or participate in a deal, providing founders with streamlined syndicate formation and access to a concentrated network of high-conviction investors. As of mid-2026, the coalition has deployed approximately $32 million in co-investments across Zanskar ($10M in a $115M Series C for AI-enabled geothermal exploration in the western US) and Terra CO2 ($22M toward a $147M Series B for low-carbon cement in Texas).

All Aboard's business model is standard fund economics: management fees and carried interest on deployed capital, with the fund targeting a June 30, 2026 close. The organization has no disclosed operating headcount beyond its founder and a recently appointed CIO, generates visibility through earned media (Bloomberg, WSJ, Barron's, Axios, ImpactAlpha, New Private Markets) and an annual convening, and has explicitly positioned itself as a counter-cyclical vehicle as federal climate funding contracts.

Direct peers

• Clean Energy Ventures: Venture fund investing across climate and clean energy at venture-to-growth stages. Comparable climate-only thesis and stage band; a coalition member that co-invests alongside the All Aboard fund.
• Congruent Ventures: Early- and growth-stage climate tech fund. Similar thesis and stage as All Aboard; a coalition member that provides co-investment deal flow into the platform.
• Spring Lane Capital: Climate infrastructure and growth investor focused on project-scale decarbonization. Lead investor in Zanskar with All Aboard co-investing; comparable in targeting capital-intensive climate assets at the scale-up stage.
• Just Climate: Climate-focused growth and infrastructure fund investing in commercial-stage decarbonization. Closest peer in mandate — explicitly targets the scale-up gap — and co-invested with All Aboard in Terra CO2.
• Obvious Ventures: Mission-driven venture firm with a strong climate practice. Comparable stage and a coalition member that co-invested in Zanskar alongside All Aboard, though Obvious also invests across health and other impact themes.
• Prelude Ventures: Early- and growth-stage climate tech venture firm. Comparable stage and climate-only thesis; an All Aboard coalition member providing deal flow into the fund.
• Lowercarbon Capital: Climate tech venture fund investing across decarbonization themes. Highly comparable focus and stage to All Aboard and a coalition member; competes for similar founders and follows a similar thesis that climate out-of-favor cycles create opportunity.

Broad incumbents

• Energy Impact Partners: Large utility- and corporate-backed climate and energy fund with venture, growth and infra strategies. Comparable climate mandate and a coalition member, but a far larger, multi-strategy platform that often leads rounds All Aboard co-invests in.
• Breakthrough Energy Ventures: Bill Gates-backed climate tech fund investing across the full climate stack from early to growth. Directly comparable as a climate-focused venture investor and All Aboard coalition founder/co-host; however, BEV is a far larger, lead-investor fund with permanent capital and a much bigger team.
• Khosla Ventures: Major US venture firm with a large dedicated climate practice spanning venture to growth. Comparable as a top-tier climate investor and All Aboard coalition co-host, but operates a broad portfolio well beyond climate and writes much larger, often lead checks.
