Pitchbook Ranks SOSV #1 Investor in Climate Tech for 2018–2021

Pitchbook released their inaugural report on Climate Tech for Q3 2021, where SOSV was ranked the most active VC in climate tech by deal count for the period of January 2018 to the end of September 2021.

This came notably from our startup development programs in Hard Tech (HAX) and Biology (IndieBio), which backed dozens of startups notably in the field of alternative protein, biomaterials, and industrial technologies — three of the largest contributors to the emissions of greenhouse gases.

As a reminder that VC in general and Climate Tech in particular are a team sport, we are glad to count many of the other firms ranked as co-investors in our top startups (more details here).

Prelude Ventures and Khosla Ventures also shared insights about their investment approaches during the recent SOSV Climate Tech Summit (summary and videos).
