At Avesta Fund, we champion startup founders driving decarbonization and economic inclusion for a more sustainable and prosperous future. We believe that profit and purpose can be a virtuous cycle.
To address humanity’s biggest problems like climate change and economic inequality, we need innovative, scalable and profitable solutions. We help our seed-stage startups bridge the tech, venture and impact investing worlds – to attract like-minded investors, colleagues and customers as they drive toward impact and commercial success.
We invest in tech-enabled companies in North America whose positive impact is aligned with their business. We prioritize (but are not limited to) diverse founding teams. We typically invest at the earliest stages (pre-seed or seed) at which founders raise money from institutional investors.
Some of the areas we focus our investments in include:
Climate Change: Sustainable Agriculture, Energy Efficiency, Clean Energy, Circular Economy, Green Buildings, Climate Finance, and Digital Solutions.
Economic Opportunity: Education, Financial Inclusion, Future of Work, Affordable Housing, Entrepreneurship Development.
