Overview

Who we areEssential Capital is a global venture investor and an early backer of industry-transforming businesses. For over a decade we’ve partnered with some of the world’s leading entrepreneurs and invested close to $500M in companies like Delivery Hero, Domo, Dataminr, Lyft, Plated, Perfect Day, and Tradeshift, among many others.

Our current climate-related agenda focuses on investments in the “materials transition” space. We back companies that decarbonize key supply chains and tackle ethical and environmental challenges facing the current society and future generations.

Operating out of a $130M dedicated capital pool, we are an active supporter of companies we back, and tend to lead at early stages rather than follow in late-stage rounds.
