The boat rocks are $ 100 million to invest in people and the planet

The environment and society seem still relevant, all you may hear in some other circles. At least, this is one conclusion that is extracted from the news that the European specialist VC pastor He closed a fund worth 100 million euros ($ 109 million) to invest in startups “planets and social”.

The Revent thesis was launched outside Berlin in 2021 by Otto Perpnum and Lauren Lingz, and the thesis of Rift (and still) was that the most ambitious entrepreneurs want to build companies prohibiting social progress, and therefore, this may become, of high value. High -thinking things.

It is recognized that political geography has moved in a way that indicates that “progress” may seem completely different from the opinions of 2021. But with everything that was said, the husband collected a large group of LPS to support the new box.

This includes the German retail giant The Otto Group, Goldbeck, WePA, OETKER, Beiersdorf and Hymer, as well as a number of European technology founders. The European Investment Fund also increased its commitment to the second Revent Fund.

Lentz Techcrunch told that the fund is looking for emerging companies in energy transmission, industrial carbon removal, health care, climate, economic empowerment, and redistribution, among other things.

Since the launch, it has been invested in 26 companies. She said: “Many in the field of climate technology, others in health technology, and others in empowerment. In general, things really went well. We had a number of companies chosen by first -class public boxes,” she said.

Linz said that the fund has always tried to put itself in the third category, “as a box that focuses on performance and investing in the health of planets and societal, in terms of creation in the long term. In the first days, there were some people who were skeptics and did not really understand a large extent, which does not allow us to do a large extent, and they are largely allowed to allow us to do the car. The value through investing in the basic transformations is long The term.

She said LPS of Revent is directed towards the long term. “I think they are not afraid of what is happening in the United States at the present time. I think, in fact, they think it is important to continue to invest in these spaces despite what is happening in the United States. I think there is an idea of ​​Europe, a kind of standing and punching again and knowing the values ​​it represents, and investing greatly in these dyes.”

You see more capital heading towards the so -called restoration of industry, European sovereignty, defense, and “will not be surprised” if there is now a spread of new emerging specialized funds. “I think Europe now needs to know what it represents … technology and innovation as part of it, and I think the capital will be somewhat flowing.”

The team has now been divided through Berlin, London and Paris, and now has an adventure partner in San Francisco.
