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

Veddio was a cloud aggregator and provider that empower Managed Service Providers (MSPs), System Integrators/ITSP/VARs (SI’s), and Software Companies throughout the United States and Canada with cloud infrastructure and cloud solutions that significantly enhance current product and service offerings. Our innovative Cloud Management Dashboard provides easy and effective administration of client cloud services, which allow for enhanced client relationship ownership and management. Veddio was started in 2009 by Managed Service Providers that were frustrated with the lack of efficient and cost effective service options they had to offer their small and medium sized clients. Small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) are looking for better ways to use technology to increase efficiency and for ways to update their IT infrastructure without incurring major capital investments. Prior to Veddio MSPs and Integrators had to piecemeal various online or hosted services through a multitude of service providers, and/or forfeit potential revenues. This creates a management nightmare for the MSPs and doesn’t allow them to deliver a scalable, cohesive, and profitable cloud offering. Veddio’s suite of cloud products solves the service gap by enabling I.T. professionals to cost effectively bundle our cloud products into their core service offerings. Our cloud products bring everyday efficiency to SMBs and ease of management to I.T. professionals through our innovative Cloud Dashboard. The Cloud Dashboard provides a unified system allowing for multi-product single location management and automatic services provisioning. Veddio’s suite of products include VPS, VoIP, Online Backup, Exchange, Hosting, SharePoint, Colo, and Remote Apps available in easy to mange cloud bundles or ala carte. Veddio was acquired by IndependenceIT.
