We back European startups that develop Transformative Technologies which have the potential to fundamentally disrupt value chains in today’s major industry verticals and significantly improve the environmental impact. Technological advances in the IoT, machine learning, artificial intelligence, or robotics pave the way to create solutions that fundamentally change value chains in sectors that place a major burden on our planet and our communities: - Energy and Resources - Industry & Manufacturing - Mobility & Logistics - Building & Infrastructure. With +15 years of experience in sustainable investing, we are confident that economic growth and sustainability matters are not trade-offs but mutually reinforcing factors. The entrepreneurs we support strive for holistic value creation along the Triple Top Line of economic wealth, environmental prosperity, and social equity: they create solutions that enhance the well-being of nature and societies while generating economic value. Growing our investees along the triple top line, we are committed to actively contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Third Sphere works for founders transforming global systems. We’ve made over 100 investments in notable firms like Cove Tool, OneWheel and Bowery Farming. We’re usually a pre-customer investor and offer traditional venture as well as credit finance, along with coaching and connections to over 12,000 customers, investors focused on re-imagining our planet. Our team is ranked in the 99th percentile of climatetech investors on NFX Signal, and Techcrunch named us one of the top 10 VCs founders love the most. We know that climate is about more than carbon—it’s also about force multipliers like asset finance and distribution. We believe the best climate solutions don’t look like climate solutions at all, just better, faster, and cheaper products and services. We prefer rapid deployment that will get us close to 1.5C in warming while upgrading our systems to make them more resilient. But we’ll also look at moonshot opportunities because we know we need a plan B. [VC] A real investment is about more than capital. We invest at the earliest stages, usually pre-customer, stay close to our founders, and work with them from the inception of our relationship so they can build relationships with other founders, investors, and customers. [Credit] Our investments are designed to minimize dilution and preserve ownership for your team without compromising on rapid growth and impact. That’s why, in addition to venture investment, we lend and create asset finance structures like leasing vehicles. [Platform] The Third Sphere platform helps to connect portfolio founders with leading founders, investors, and customers in climatetech. We use it internally to source the most promising investments and to make introductions within our network in order to increase our portfolio’s chances of achieving rapid impact at scale. [History] We probably look familiar. We used to be known as Urban Us. Heres whats changed - https://hubs.li/Q014-Jsb0

MCJ is an early-stage fund for the energy and industry transition and the inevitable impacts of climate change.
