碳生万物

Carbon Capture

碳生万物 develops direct air capture technology to convert atmospheric CO2 into sustainable aviation fuel.

+2
Chinese energy storage and renewables players are now actively co-investing in early-stage tech—this signals they're building supply chains and software layers rather than just buying commodity hardware. If you're in industrial software, grid optimization, or battery management, watch whether these strategic backers expect equity upside or are just securing technical moats for their core business.
SG Enviro logo
🇸🇬SG EnviroIndustrial Water & Wastewater Treatment

SG Enviro provides full-lifecycle water and wastewater treatment solutions for data centers, semiconductor fabs, and industrial manufacturers across Southeast Asia.

$5.9MSeries A
E
Emerald Ventures
SS
A $5.9M Series A for industrial water treatment in Southeast Asia signals that water scarcity is now a hard constraint for capex-heavy industries (data centers, semis) in the region—not a nice-to-have. If you're building infrastructure software or hardware for any water-intensive vertical, this validates that customers will fund solutions that reduce regulatory risk and operational cost, especially in water-stressed geographies.
Gigascale logo
🇺🇸GigascaleEnergy, Grid Infrastructure, Critical Minerals

Gigascale invests in climate tech founders building energy, grid infrastructure, and critical minerals solutions.

$250MFund Raise
Investor undisclosed
A $250M climate fund closing in mid-2026 signals that institutional LPs are still writing big checks for energy infrastructure, but the bar has shifted from "decarbonization narrative" to actual grid-scale unit economics and mineral supply chain de-risking. If you're building in adjacent hard tech (water, industrial processes, waste), watch how Gigascale's portfolio companies navigate permitting and capex timelines—that's where most climate founders actually die, not in the tech.

🇻🇳StrideDistributed Solar

Stride aggregates solar contractors to simplify rooftop solar installations for households and MSMEs in Vietnam.

$15MSeries B

Lightrock
TCU
A $15M Series B for residential solar in Vietnam signals that distributed energy marketplaces are now fundable at scale in Southeast Asia—the capital stack is maturing beyond pilot stage. Stride is likely using this to expand contractor network density and build supply-side logistics (permitting, financing, installation QA), not just demand generation. If you're building any two-sided marketplace in climate or home services across emerging markets, watch how they solve contractor unit economics and customer acquisition cost—those are the actual moats, not the aggregation layer.
Convective Capital logo
🇺🇸Convective CapitalDisaster Resilience

Convective Capital is a venture fund backing early-stage disaster resilience and risk management startups in fire detection, autonomous firefighting, and forest management.

$85MFund II
Investor undisclosed
An $85M Fund II close signals insurance companies are finally writing bigger checks into climate risk—they're moving from hedging bets to conviction plays in fire tech. If you're building in adjacent risk verticals (flood, earthquake, supply chain resilience), this validates that LPs will fund companies solving *specific* loss events rather than vague sustainability angles, and that insurance balance sheets are the real customer to design around.

$85MFund Raise
Investor undisclosed
An $85M fund closing for disaster resilience signals that LPs—especially insurers and asset managers—are now treating wildfire/fire tech as a defensible, recurring revenue problem rather than a one-off grant opportunity. If you're building in adjacent infrastructure or monitoring spaces (water systems, grid resilience, supply chain visibility), this validates that risk-mitigation plays can attract institutional capital when they have clear ROI paths to insurance or municipal buyers.
X-energy logo
🇺🇸X-energyNuclear Fission

X-energy develops advanced nuclear fission reactors to provide clean, reliable baseload power for industrial and grid applications.

$1BIPO
Investor undisclosed
A $1B nuclear IPO with Amazon as anchor signals that industrial decarbonization is moving from subsidy-dependent to bankable—utilities and hyperscalers are willing to lock in long-term power contracts at scale. If you're building in industrial heat, grid resilience, or any energy-intensive vertical, this validates that customers will pay a premium for reliable, carbon-free baseload rather than waiting for cheaper renewables.
