Clean Impact Ventures

Clean Impact Ventures is a US-based micro-venture fund focused exclusively on clean technology and sustainability startups. Founded in 2020, the firm deploys pre-seed and seed capital into early-stage companies developing clean technology, renewable energy solutions, and eco-friendly innovations aligned with impact investing principles. With an average check size of approximately $15,000 and a maximum of $25,000 per investment, Clean Impact Ventures operates at the earliest end of the funding spectrum, functioning as an angel syndicate or micro-fund. The fund has made approximately 10 investments to date, concentrated in cleantech and energy. Beyond capital, the firm provides strategic support and network access to help portfolio companies scale their early operations. The micro-check model reflects a deliberate strategy to participate at the concept stage, when environmental impact can be shaped most fundamentally, rather than waiting for proven traction. Clean Impact Ventures anchors its thesis in the belief that accelerating the growth of ventures generating clean environmental impact requires capital willing to move at the earliest possible moment. The firm targets founders building solutions in clean energy, sustainable materials, and adjacent environmental technology, seeking out concepts where small initial checks can meaningfully de-risk the path to follow-on institutional funding.
