Climate tech
Technology plays a key role in decarbonizing industries. We invest in climate technologies that help us reduce GHG emissions and save earth’s resources, from AI to carbon capture technologies.
We invest in climate technologies that help cut global emissions
Global emissions continue to rise, driven not only by legacy industries but increasingly by the rapid growth of AI, data centres, and cloud computing. Climate tech must address both historic emissions and the next wave of energy demand.
Our investment thesis
We invest in climate technologies that reduce, remove, or avoid emissions at scale — with a clear focus on solutions that make the digital economy compatible with planetary boundaries. This includes high-quality carbon removal as well as technologies that reduce the energy and emissions footprint of AI, data centres, and cloud infrastructure.
What we are looking for
- Technologies that significantly reduce energy use, emissions, or cooling demand from AI, data centres, and cloud computing
- Hardware-enabled software that improves energy efficiency, load management, and system optimisation
- Scalable carbon dioxide removal solutions with durable climate impact
Our investments within climate tech
We have backed founders building solutions within decarbonizing emissions from the increasing use of AI and cloud computing, automating GHG reporting, and carbon removal strategies.

Pitch us
Have a venture where impact and growth scale together? We invest early and work side-by-side powered by the whole Footprint Firm team.
Will has international consulting experience from Bain & Company and The Footprint Firm. He has worked extensively with sustainability strategy, decarbonisation & target setting, and sustainability due diligence, ranging from SMEs to multinationals across a variety of industries. Will leads The Footprint Firm’s Biotechnology investment vertical and supports the go-to-market of portfolio companies within it.
Before joining The Footprint Firm, Will worked for 4.5 years at Bain & Company in Copenhagen, where he advised clients on a variety of strategic and operational challenges, primarily in Consumer Goods, Tech, Energy and Industry. At Bain, Will developed a passion helping large corporates navigate their decarbonisation journeys, which he sees as having a huge role to play in climate change mitigation. During this period, he also spent 6 months in Colombia helping to scale local start-ups.
Outside work, Will plays a lot of sport, mainly tennis, hockey and running, as well as being a keen musician. He holds a Master’s degree in Natural Sciences from UCL, where he majored in Physics and Physical Chemistry and during these studies, he also spent a year at McGill University in Canada.
