By Antoine Pradayrol Six months ago, we published GAS’s first portfolio impact assessment, calculating for the first time the amount of greenhouse gas emissions that are being avoided thanks to our portfolio companies. As promised at the time, we are now publishing a six-month update - a great occasion for, in fact, three types of updates: (i) taking stock of the growth of each business and therefore of its impact; (ii) revising and improving our impact calculation methods where we could; and (iii) adding GAS’s new portfolio companies into the mix.
By Nick Lyth We’re dying of corona virus, the global economy is in nosedive, climate change is coming to batter us into submission, America is burning, and all we can offer is a new brick? Is it worth it? Who cares?

By Antoine Pradayrol Our first pitch event of the new decade took place at the beautifully appointed Conduit Club in Mayfair, London. The room was literally packed with a uniquely eager audience of green angel investors, who were treated to five top-quality pitches from five ambitious businesses.

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.

Our 26th September pitch event at Urban Innovation Centre in Clerkenwell, London, was packed with more than 90 attendees and a fantastic line-up of five companies. The companies represented very different sectors, from buildings to industry to electric vehicles to online second-hand shopping. However, all of them had not only a very strong investment case but also a very clear contribution to make to solving the climate crisis – so all were perfectly aligned with Green Angel Syndicate’s objectives:
Green Angel Syndicate (GAS) has completed its seventh new investment, playing an important role in the latest funding round for London-based developer of hybrid-electric powertrains and associated telematics software solutions (VPVisionTM) for buses. With this investment, GAS has provided over £3.5 million, to fund early stage companies across the clean technology sector.
