Finland, 2018

The global carbon transition is underway.

Many billion-dollar climate technology companies will be founded this decade, creating new markets and swiftly overtaking incumbents across the modern economic system. A generation of climate-motivated founders is leveraging the technological opportunity enabled by years of foundational research and development in materials science and energy alongside breakthroughs in computing, sensing, and biotechnology.

Defined by superior product performance, competitive unit economics, and growing demand from businesses, consumers, and governments worldwide, these new technology companies are reshaping the foundation of the global economy.

This is a market opportunity worth trillions.

PORTFOLIO

Technology for a Resilient Future

Voyager invests in technology companies creating the future of mobility, energy, materials, food, the built environment, analytics, industrial systems, and carbon removal.

VISION

Urgency and Opportunity

We recognize the stakes in stabilizing the climate and arresting mass extinction within our lifetimes. We are deeply alarmed by biodiversity loss as major natural systems hurtle towards tipping points - from the Amazon to the Arctic. And we recognize the power of markets and technology to swiftly shift our course at a global scale.

We are motivated by urgency and opportunity. Join us.
