By Antoine Pradayrol Tackling global warming and climate change, by supporting businesses that develop solutions to cut greenhouse gas emissions, and more generally that help the environment. That is Green Angel Syndicate’s core mission – and we are determined to make the largest possible positive impact.
But what is this impact? How can we measure it? In our view, it must be measured as the impact that our portfolio companies are making, as a group. Indeed, this aggregate impact is what Green Angel Syndicate Members’ investments are making possible, by helping these companies grow. String of follow-on investments highlights progress of Green Angel Syndicate portfolio companies13/1/2020
By Antoine Pradayrol Over the past two years, Green Angel Syndicate members have invested in 17 young and ambitious companies developing ground-breaking solutions to tackle global warming.
Of those investments, a third were completed less than a year ago, and 11 were completed during 2018, so none of them is more than two years old – and it is still too early to know how successful these endeavours will ultimately be. By Antoine Pradayrol Our 28th November pitch event at Browns Covent Garden in London broke another record in terms of attendance, and our eager audience of angel investors was treated with five high quality pitches from five ambitious companies in five very different areas of the green economy.
Heating accounts for half of energy consumption globally, and over a quarter of total CO2 emissions – so decarbonising heat must be an urgent priority.
However, this is a complex, multifaceted, thorny issue – with no single one-size-fits-all solution, but rather a variety of possible technologies which are both competitive and complementary; and the real-life impacts of the transition to zero carbon heating will be significant, in terms both of investments required and of disruption at customers’ premises.
