Meet the Capital Allocators writing checks for Climate scaleups
Thereโs a staggering $217B in total private climate assets under management (AUM), comprising 207 new VCs, Corporate VCs, Growth, Infrastructure, and Private Equity funds since January 2021.
While the landscape for climate finance is evolving rapidly, a notable funding gap stands out for growth (Series B+) startups seeking to scale their solutions.
