Greensphere Capital has closed its $100m Gaia Sciences Innovation fund and is planting its flag across the Atlantic.
We've got the scoop on the LPs backing the fund, the 8,000 scientists feeding its deal flow, and the transatlantic partnership anchoring its US expansion.
"We've never been one of these spray-and-pray merchants," Divya Seshamani, managing partner at Greensphere Capital, tells Impact Loop. "We'd rather do great investments and deliver returns and make impact than chase the next unicorn around the corner."

Greensphere Capital, the London-based impact investment firm, has fully closed its Gaia Sciences Innovation fund at $100m and is opening its first US office, Impact Loop has learned.
The US expansion is anchored by a new partnership with the Smithsonian Institution, the world's largest museum and research complex. The tie-up takes the fund's network of partner science institutes to 47.
