We invest in visionary founders working to transition our economy to a sustainable, decarbonized future.
The Overture Edge
Overture is an early-stage climate tech venture fund with a hyper-differentiated edge. We invest in climate startups and focus on helping those founders win government support and navigate regulatory complexity. The federal government has delivered a muscular industrial policy that erected a $1.0 Trillion wall of money for climate and a set of rules that will shape important new industries of the future. Each Overture portfolio company receives in-kind support from the country’s leading climate government affairs firm, Boundary Stone Partners, to unlock the full potential of federal, state, and municipal governments.
Overture is an investment bridge between the world of climate startups and governments.
In government, we have worked as senior political appointees in the U.S. Department of Energy and in the White House. We have since founded climate government affairs firms like Boundary Stone Partners and have helped build government affairs practices at companies like Airbnb.
As individual investors, we have previously deployed this strategy to invest in some of the fastest growing startups in climate and have proven the value of our playbook.
As entrepreneurs, we have personally founded technology startups with over $1.5 billion in cumulative exits.
