Capital that sets transitions
in motion
StartGreen Capital develops and manages impact-driven funds and financing solutions that contribute to the energy transition, circular economy, and an inclusive society. In this way, we connect investors, projects, and enterprises to investable solutions with lasting social and financial impact.
A proven partner for capital and impact
Since 2006, StartGreen Capital has been developing and managing impact funds that set capital in motion for sustainable and social transitions. With specialized teams, strong governance, and a proven track record, we connect investors, projects, and enterprises around investable solutions.
Why StartGreen is needed
The transition to a sustainable, resilient, and inclusive society is under pressure. Energy and resource dependency, climate change, and social inequality reinforce each other and make systems vulnerable.
At the same time, many solutions get stuck between ambition and execution.
Not because there is no capital, but because entrepreneurs and project developers often need more (risk) capital in relatively small amounts. This makes it difficult for institutional investors to provide financing. The capital is therefore often available, but not always in the right form, at the right time, with an appropriate risk profile, and at the right scale.
StartGreen develops and manages specialized funds that bring impact and investability together, enabling scaling and lasting social and financial value.

For whom we create value
Whether you want to allocate capital, seek financing for a project, or are building a scalable enterprise: StartGreen helps you find the right investment or financing route.
For investors
Specialized impact funds with clear propositions, appropriate risk profiles, and a professional organization.
For projects & developers
Flexible financing for sustainable infrastructure and circular projects in various development and scaling phases.
For scale-ups
Capital and committed partnership for enterprises building inclusive and scalable impact.
One mission, multiple routes to financing.
Within StartGreen, different financing approaches come together. With project financing, we support capital-intensive transitions in energy and circularity. With venture capital, we invest in innovative enterprises with a technical solution that are ready to scale and accelerate sustainable and social transitions. By organizing these propositions in conjunction, we help solutions grow from potential to scale.
