Climactic launches hybrid fund to get startups through the ‘valley of death’

Our first physical climate innovation hub opened last week in San Francisco, and we are starting to bring the climate community together both in-person and digitally.

A group of seasoned founders, CEOs, operators and venture capitalists announced the launch of Climactic, a New York City and San Francisco, Calif.-based venture capital firm, with a $65M inaugural fund dedicated to accelerating the growth of software-first climate tech startups.

Climactic, a seed venture firm founded by Freestyle Capital's Josh Felser and ex-Lyft executive, Raj Kapoor, has raised $65 million for its first fund.

A couple years ago, when the pandemic was still in full swing, Raj Kapoor and Josh Felser started making some investments in climate tech startups.
