Moneybox is a wealth management platform, but we’re guided by our belief that wealth isn’t about the money. It’s about the means to more – more freedom and possibility, more opportunities and more peace of mind. And we’re on a mission to give everyone the means to get more out of life. Millions of us go through life feeling like we should be doing more to get on top of our money. But we leave it at the bottom of our to-do lists, because were not sure where to get started or how to take the next step. This isn’t surprising when: Most of us weren’t taught about saving and investing at school. We’re confronted by a complex, fragmented, and confusing industry. Getting help making decisions about money has traditionally been reserved for a privileged few. This leaves us feeling anxious and uncertain, and we end up with less money for the things that really matter to us. At Moneybox, we believe that building wealth throughout life, and all of the freedom, opportunities, and peace of mind that come with it, should be possible for everyone. We launched in 2016 and helped thousands of people start investing with just their spare change. Today, we’re now helping more than one million people build wealth throughout their lives. Whether they’re saving and investing, buying their first home, or planning for retirement, our customers will get a service they can rely on, that supports them through every step, and celebrates with them along the way.

Hard Climate is the first venture studio dedicated to developing hard industrial climate technologies. Venture studios typically serve three functions in the innovation ecosystem. 1) Scout and spin-out technologies from laboratories. 2) De-risk early-stage startups as operational co-founders. 3) Invest capital and promote the commercial maturation of tech solutions. For our investors, this translates to improved ROI and returns through increased success rates and diversified exit strategies. At Hard Climate, we designed a new playbook to specifically address industrial hard tech. By tackling grand challenges in energy and decarbonization, we look to have dual bottom line returns (outsized environmental impact and strong financial returns). We have the team, track record, know-how and networks to deliver. Follow us and reach out to know more!
