Industries and geos.

TenNine VC is investing in planet positive companies solving global issues and benefitting the Earth and society.

 

We work on profitably solving systemic societal and environmental challenges across industries, and back highly consequential hardware and software concepts with large obtainable markets, preserving the good and building the better.

We centre around two portfoliosEarth and Society. 

TenNine Earth portfolio supports preservation, reconciliation and regeneration of our planet’s elements, water, air, soil and the nature on it.

Healthy Earth is not a wish or a temporary hype. Climate issues and pollution are urgent, important, expensive, and with increasingly severe consequences for all life which we know, human included. Examples of Earth concepts strike through Climate tech and Cleantech industries:
  • Clean water.
  • Circularity, footprint and waste.
  • Clean energy.
  • Air quality and pollution.
  • Built environment.
  • Regenerative agriculture.
TenNine Society portfolio builds a sustainable, prosperous future of work, consumption and mobility, through technology. Solutions we support span across:
  • Meaningful blockchain – infrastructure and utility.
  • Hybrid intelligence and neurotech.
  • Future of work and education.
  • Longevity and quality of life – mentis et corporis.
  • Sustainable foods.
  • Mobility 20X0.

We invest in regulated markets which we know well: 

  • Europe.
  • UK.
  • North America.

Leveraging the insight and diversity of our Angel Syndicate membership, we build centres of expertise across the range of societal topics.

We are polymath by skill, and altruists by will. We gather for sourcing, diligence and industry analyses, invest and then help develop the companies we back.

Founders.

We look for trailblazers, brave visionaries who uncover and craft new paradigms and market-universes that matter. 

 

Our founders are creative, optimistic, empathic, powerful. Simplifying principles, reimagining methods and scaling up propositions of fundamental societal relevance. The wonderful inventors of a collectively healthy, sustainable, joyous, progressive future. Brilliant minds with luminous energy, who will inspire the betterment of tomorrow.

You.
