Adaptation isn’t optional. It’s inevitable.
Most of the capital in climate still chases mitigation. For every $28 poured directly into mitigation between 2019 and 2023, just $1 was invested directly into adaptation.
But in a 2.5°C+ world, the demand shifts are predictable; resilience, repair & recovery, and demand adaptation (e.g., cooling, water, resilient housing, health systems, cold supply chains). These aren’t “nice to have” markets. They’re the foundations of human quality of life.
That’s where Adapt [us] comes in.
We are a venture fund and venture builder backing companies that will profitably fulfill this new demand while making humanity better off.
Our edge:
Pragmatic thesis: we back ventures designed for a hotter, harsher world.
Hands-on support: we don’t just invest, we help founders build through strategy, scaling, and go-to-market.
Proven results: our team has delivered 7x TVPI and 33% IRR, and we apply the same discipline here.
Measurable impact: we use eQALY (equivalent Quality Adjusted Life Years) to quantify how our portfolio improves human well-being.
We invest in resiliency, repair and recovery, and demand adaptation; meeting the needs people will pay for as climate stress intensifies. Scaling is the biggest challenge in these spaces, and we know how to help companies scale. Profit and impact aren’t in tension: they reinforce each other when you’re solving unavoidable problems.
Who we work with:
Founders solving for any solution where demand will increase as the climate crisis continues. This includes food, water, housing, health, and resilience.
Investors who want exposure to one of the fastest-growing, most underfunded areas in climate.
Partners who share our conviction that adaptation is the defining investment opportunity of our time.
Adaptation isn’t a backup plan. It’s the next economy.
If you’re building or backing ventures for that future, let’s talk.
