🔓Climate Edge: How I’m Investing in Deeptech Climate Solutions
Your Weekly Shortcut to Deeptech Investing — Trends, Startup Intel & Investor Playbooks for VCs & Angels in 5 Minutes or Less
Most investors are focused on climate SaaS. I’m investing in thermal batteries, bacteria-powered cement, and carbon-negative plastics. Here's a glimpse into the frontier that's quietly shaping trillion-dollar industries.
Why Deeptech Climate Is the Sleeper Opportunity of 2025
While mainstream climate capital is going into dashboards and offsets, I’m watching the rise of deeptech solutions targeting industrial heat, materials, carbon conversion, and infrastructure.
These are technologies that:
Cut emissions at the source (not just measure them)
Scale with industry, not just startups
Have actual revenue paths via grants, credits, and offtakes
I believe this is where the next climate unicorns will be built—and I’m tracking them now.
3 Deeptech Climate Sectors I’m Watching
1. Carbon-to-Value
Startups turning COâ‚‚ into materials and fuels that replace petrochemicals.
Think: concrete, jet fuel, polymers.
→ Startups include: CarbonBuilt, Twelve, Dimensional Energy
2. Engineered Carbon Removal
Hardware and mineral systems that lock carbon permanently—not offsets.
Think: direct air capture, mineralization, ocean alkalinity.
→ Startups include: Heirloom, CarbonCapture, Lithos
3. Thermal & Industrial Heat
Deeptech companies replacing fossil heat in factories and heavy industry.
Think: thermal batteries, solar heat, carbon-free kilns.
