Rising Sun Ventures

Rising Sun Ventures is a Toronto-based venture capital and climate-advisory firm founded in 2015, located at 161 Bay Street, Suite 2700 in the Toronto financial district. The firm positions itself as an early-stage investor in businesses that create combined social, economic and ecological benefits -- a triple-bottom-line impact thesis -- and pairs capital with active management support, offering portfolio companies operational guidance, help building teams and introductions to key customers and partners. Rising Sun's investment activity is focused on cleantech and renewable energy, with documented investments in Series A rounds. The firm has also built a formalized climate and renewable-energy advisory practice, running programs that help corporates and founders navigate climate strategy and renewable-energy infrastructure development across the emerging green economy. Public data indicates the firm primarily invests in South Korea-based startups at Series A stage, positioning itself as a cross-border Canada-Korea platform for climate and impact-oriented growth. The firm has made three disclosed investments including bunkerkids. Alongside its direct investment activity, Rising Sun Ventures' advisory practice allows the firm to work across a broader set of climate and sustainability challenges than its investment thesis alone would reach. This dual model -- capital plus advisory -- reflects the firm's view that the energy transition requires both patient investment and strategic guidance to accelerate, and positions Rising Sun as a long-term partner to founders navigating complex regulatory and commercial landscapes in the green economy.
