Understorey Ventures invests in critical solutions needed to restore planetary health. We back visionaries tackling the climate and nature crisis with transformative ideas and technologies.
The world is running out of time to change the course of climate change and irreversible ecological loss. We are a private impact investment office with a mission to use capital as a force for good to heal the planet.
About us
We back visionaries fighting to reduce and reverse the climate crisis and rebuild ecosystems.
We seek nature-positive investments in businesses building highly scalable solutions with measurable impact.
We approach investments with long-term patient capital and a time-critical impact focus.
Beneath the canopy grows the understorey, a forest layer that can account for over 90% of plant life. Here, young trees await an opening, an opportunity to emerge. We seek the transformational narratives yet to be told, with the aim to grow a better future.
“Never before have we had such an awareness of what we are doing to the planet, and never before have we had the power to do something about that.”
