\nClimate tech VC firm closes $300M fund after LPs push for broader investment opportunities<\/br>
\n2023-04-19 22:13:25<\/br><\/p>\n

\n

Congruent Ventures new fund bucks the trend of venture pullback, suggesting continued confidence in climate tech<\/h2>\n
\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n

Climate tech may<\/span> have started the year with a down quarter<\/a>, but don\u2019t count it out just yet.<\/p>\n

Amid a backdrop of depressing figures from much of the venture capital sector, climate tech deals were lower both in value and in deal count. But it remains to be seen whether it\u2019s the start of a longer trend or just a brief blip.<\/p>\n

As if to argue in favor of the latter, Congruent Ventures<\/a> on Wednesday announced the close of a new $300 million fund that, like its other funds, will focus on climate tech. The sheer size suggests that not only is the specialist VC firm confident in the sector\u2019s future, but that its limited partners are, too.<\/p>\n

Unlike its previous funds, which are aimed at the seed and Series A stages, the new Continuity Fund will focus on providing follow-on financing for its portfolio companies, which include AMP Robotics, Servo Energy, Span.IO, Avalanche Energy and others.<\/p>\n

Still, the firm says it won\u2019t be straying far. \u201cWe don\u2019t actually see this as a move away from the early stage; that is still always where we\u2019re going to be forming our relationships,\u201d managing partner Abe Yokell told TechCrunch+. But after executing a couple special-purpose vehicles to provide additional financing for earlier investments, there was appetite for more.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
