French venture capital firm SlateVC has marked the first close of its inaugural €250m fund to help them do just that.
Venture capital funding for climate tech surged in the years of 2021-2022. Since then funding has plummeted and hoards of startups have gone bankrupt.
However, a fair percentage of those early stage bets made it. Many of those companies are now maturing – and that's precisely the point where Slate Venture Capital looks to step in. The Paris-based firm has secured €132mn in the first close of its first fund, the company announced today.
