Venture Climate Alliance
About Us
Manage risk, create value.
Venture capital investors play an outsized role in identifying and backing the leading companies of the future. The VCA provides GPs with voluntary, practitioner-developed tools, resources, and support to capitalize on the opportunities and manage the risks inherent in the global climate transition– preparing tomorrow’s market-leading companies to create durable long-term value for stakeholders.
Resources
By venture capital, for the teams we invest in.
For both generalist VC firms and those investing in climate solutions exclusively, anticipating and managing climate-related risks and opportunities makes good investment sense. In order for our portfolio companies to enter and thrive in dynamic markets where climate will play a much greater role, VCs are shaping voluntary best practices that prepare founding teams to navigate the accelerating climate transition and build the next generation of category-defining industry leadership. The VCA helps member GPs and portfolio companies embed commercially-relevant climate-aligned practices within businesses from day one.
For GPs
Members-only knowledge base for venture GPs.
