For investors
One mission. Two propositions.
Aligned with your investment strategy
StartGreen Capital provides access to impact-driven investments in energy, circularity, and inclusion — with clear risk profiles, proven track records, and transparent reporting.
Why invest via StartGreen
Sustainable and social transitions create structural investment opportunities — but require specialized knowledge, appropriate structures, and often a long-term perspective.
StartGreen Capital offers investors access to these markets through professionally managed funds and mandates. We combine in-depth sector expertise with strong governance and an integrated approach to financial return and impact.
Our propositions
Two complementary
investment strategies
We offer investors access to impact investments through two strategies that complement each other in terms of 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 and long-term investments and 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 and higher risk-return profiles
A proven partner in impact investing
Since 2006, we have been building a portfolio of funds and mandates within the energy, circular, and inclusion transitions.
* The amount of €738 million includes the total capital that investors have committed to impact funds managed by StartGreen Capital, impact funds for which StartGreen Capital has performed portfolio management based on a (MiFID) mandate, and funds/portfolios for which StartGreen Capital has provided ongoing fund-related services, as of December 31, 2025.
Professionally organized, independently managed
Behind every fund is a specialized team with deep domain expertise. And behind those teams is a strong, proven central organization with shared expertise in finance, risk, legal, governance, and impact measurement.
This ensures independent decision-making, risk management, and reliable reporting to investors.
Our investment approach
We structure investments based on the reality of transitions — with attention to phase, risk, and scalability.
Type of deals
Structures appropriate for phase and risk
We invest through various structures, tailored to the phase, capital requirements, and risk dynamics of the investment.
From project finance — using instruments such as equity, junior, and senior debt — to venture capital for companies in the growth phase. Where necessary, we work with public-private structures to enable investments where standard solutions fall short.
Sector focus
Three transitions, one direction
We invest specifically in three domains where transitions converge and structural investment opportunities arise:
Energy Transition
Investments in sustainable energy, infrastructure, and systems that contribute to a robust and future-proof energy system
Circular economy
Solutions that reduce resource use, innovate production processes, and retain value within closed loops
Inclusive economy
Enterprises and initiatives that contribute to equal access to capital, diversity, and broad economic participation
Investment role
Depending on the investment and the fund, we act as lead investor or co-investor.
As lead investor, we structure investments and determine the terms. As co-investor, we collaborate with public and private parties, leveraging our network and expertise to facilitate and further develop transactions.
This combination of structures, sector focus, and market role allows us to realize investment opportunities that are often difficult for individual investors to access.
Impact as an integral part of investing.
Impact is not an addendum, but an integral part of the investment process — from fund development and investment selection to monitoring and reporting.
We make impact transparent and measurable, and report on this structurally to our investors.
