About

AENU is a venture capital fund that’s making waves by focusing on early-stage climate tech companies, aligning profitability with environmental and social impact. Based in Europe, AENU primarily invests in startups that tackle the climate crisis through innovations in energy transition, carbon economy, and sustainability. Their portfolio includes impactful companies such as Alcemy, Monta, Ocell, Trawa, and Hometree, which work on solutions ranging from low-carbon cement to intelligent energy management. With a geographic focus on Europe, especially the DACH region, Nordics, and the UK, AENU targets Seed and Series A investments, typically writing checks between €1-4 million. They often co-lead or lead rounds and always aim for board representation to ensure a strategic partnership. Their innovative Impact-as-a-Service (IaaS) offering helps portfolio companies scale while maintaining strong environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards. Founded by Fabian Heilemann and Ferry Heilemann, AENU boasts a team of seasoned entrepreneurs and investors with a proven track record of scaling ventures. The fund is committed to systemic transformation within venture capital, pushing for stakeholder alignment and equitable growth. Startups looking to partner with AENU should expect a research-driven, high-impact approach, where both financial returns and climate outcomes are equally prioritized​.
