*Emerald Ventures: Investing in Energy, Water, Materials, Mobility, and Manufacturing Technologies*

Let’s talk about Emerald Ventures, the global venture fund invested in energy, water, advanced materials, mobility, transportation, and industrial manufacturing technologies. With over 20 years of experience, Emerald brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table.

*Our Investment Focus and Expertise*

At Emerald Ventures, we focus on Series A and Series B investments. We seek out companies with proven products, established business models, and the potential to scale and expand globally. We bring more than just capital to the table; we provide valuable industry insights and a vast network acquired over our two decades in the field.

*What Makes Emerald Ventures Successful*

One of the keys to our success lies in our experience. With 20 years under our belt, we understand the dynamics of the industry and what it takes to thrive. Additionally, our vast network of 24 multinational corporate backers enables us to access invaluable resources and collaborate closely with startups.

*Building Internal Expertise and Scaling Businesses*

In recent years, we’ve focused on building internal expertise in the areas we invest in. This allows us to better understand the technologies and industries we work with, ultimately helping startups scale their businesses. By investing in startups we truly understand, we can provide tailored support and guidance.

*Investment Timeline and Long-Term Approach*

While we aim for successful exits, we understand that energy transition and sustainable businesses often require a longer timeline. With a focus on making a meaningful impact, we’re willing to be patient, with an average investment timeline ranging from three to five years.

*Exciting Technologies and the Future of Energy Transition*

When it comes to future technologies, there are a few areas that excite us at Emerald Ventures. The transition to clean energy, whether through electric solutions or other green alternatives, presents numerous opportunities. Additionally, automation and increased efficiency in energy consumption capture our attention, as they pave the way for a more sustainable future.
