About StartGreen Capital
An active link
in the investment chain
Since 2006, we have been developing and managing impact-driven funds and financing vehicles that mobilize capital for sustainable and social transitions.
Why we exist
Our society is becoming more vulnerable due to three mutually reinforcing developments.
We remain heavily dependent on fossil fuels and critical raw materials from geopolitically unstable regions. This dependency makes our economy vulnerable to price increases, supply risks, and international tensions. When energy and essential materials become more expensive or uncertain, it affects both businesses and households. As a result, our society loses resilience.
At the same time, ecological pressure is increasing. Ecological damage puts a strain on our infrastructure and makes housing and energy more expensive.
Inequality ensures that fewer and fewer people have the capacity to become more sustainable, to engage in entrepreneurship, or to adapt. This makes society as a whole less agile. Value is also lost in entrepreneurship: diverse teams and female entrepreneurs have less access to capital, even though they are the ones who contribute to innovation, economic broadening, and social resilience.
Our role in transitions
StartGreen operates between capital, projects, and enterprises. We are an active link in the investment chain. We bring parties together, structure investments, and develop financing solutions that align with the reality of investors, projects, and enterprises. In doing so, we make it possible to move from potential to realization.
What sets us apart
The transitions we work on require a different way of financing. Not a single instrument or role, but an integrated approach that aligns with the reality of investors, projects, and enterprises:
We focus on the phases where innovative solutions grow to scale. It is precisely there that we make a difference by making initiatives investable and increasing their impact.
When new markets emerge, we design funds and financing structures that align with them. With strong governance, risk management, and transparent processes, we offer certainty to both investors and entrepreneurs.
With project finance, we support capital-intensive infrastructure. With venture capital, we invest in innovative solutions that can scale. In this way, we serve different phases of the transition, with appropriate financing for each situation.
Each fund has a clear focus, its own strategy, and a specialized team with deep domain knowledge. These teams are supported by a strong central organization in the areas of finance, risk, legal, governance, and impact. This ensures quality, consistency, and scalability.
Since 2006, we have been structurally committed to accelerating transitions. Always with the goal of realizing lasting social impact as well as financial returns.
It is precisely this combination that makes it possible to accelerate transitions that result in a sustainable, resilient, and inclusive society.
Our propositions
Two complementary
investment strategies
We offer investors access to impact investments through two strategies that complement each other in risk, duration, and type of investment.
Stable returns in capital-intensive transitions
Investments in energy and circular infrastructure projects, with predictable cash flows and structured risks.
Suitable for investors looking for:
- Stable cash flows
- Long-term investments
- Lower risk profiles
Growth and innovation through new technology
Investments in companies with scaling potential that contribute to structural economic and social transitions.
Suitable for investors looking for:
- Growth potential
- Higher risk-return profiles
How we work
We do not approach transitions from a product perspective, but look at what is needed.
We identify market needs
In sectors such as energy, circularity, and inclusion
We develop appropriate structures
Funds and strategies tailored to risk and scale
We mobilize capital
By connecting investors, entrepreneurs, and partners
We actively manage and help build
Throughout the entire investment cycle
Our impact
The funds and financing structures we develop translate into concrete results within the energy, circular, and inclusion transitions.
We invest in solutions that contribute to a future-proof society and make that impact transparent for our investors and partners.
Our impact approach is integrated into the entire investment process: from fund development and selection to monitoring and reporting.
Impact as an integral part of investing
Impact objectives are part of fund strategy and investment decisions
We structurally measure and report on both financial and social results
We work with clear frameworks for impact measurement and transparency
We connect return and impact with every investment
Professionally organized, Independently managed
Each fund has a clear focus, its own strategy, and a specialized team with deep domain knowledge. These teams are supported by a strong central organization with shared expertise in the areas of finance, risk, legal, governance, and impact measurement. This ensures quality, consistency, and scalability.
