Profile

SHIFT Invest, founded in 2009, is an impact venture capital fund. We turn investments into positive impact on climate and nature by investing in early-stage companies and supporting impact entrepreneurs to scale faster.

Based on our fund-level impact mission we strive to bring back the balance between nature and society by fighting climate change, loss of biodiversity and depletion of the resources of the planet. We do so by supporting and investing in innovative start ups and scale ups contributing to this mission in the themes: food & agriculture, green industries, energy and mobility.

Together with our partners, we offer entrepreneurs an extensive network and insights into various sectors.

Our involvement in the start ups and scale ups we invest in is above all about the support we can give to the people who run them. This support is based on our core qualities analytic, reliable, professional and our broad expertise.

We are a diverse and experienced team committed to accelerate innovation by supporting the creation and acceleration of great companies. We work according to our values, professional, ambitious, entrepreneurial and fun.
