GAS launches the Climate Change Fund

8/12/2020

 
By Antoine Pradayrol
Green Angel Syndicate, the UK’s angel syndicate specialising in the fight against climate change and global warming, has just launched the GAS Climate Change Fund, for EIS and SEIS investors.

This marks an important change in the working life of Green Angel Syndicate. The success of our work over the past three years has convinced us that it is time for a widening of our capacity, so we can make more investments of a larger size, with more people supporting what we do, and hence, crucially, with a larger impact in the fight against climate change.

GAS portfolio impact assessment - October 2020

22/10/2020

 
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.

What’s the good of another tiny brick in the wall?

8/6/2020

 
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?
​We care.  It is worth it.  It may be a tiny innovation, but it is an intelligent air brick, that will improve the regulation of ventilation and humidity in social housing, which in turn will raise the flow of clean air, and reduce the scale of polluted lungs and infectious diseases, and that will help to improve the health of the home owners, while reducing their expense on heating and the health system, and so will encourage a greater sense of well-being, at the same time as lowering energy use and carbon emissions, and thus help to lower global warming, minimise climate change, and lower the spread of corona virus, while reducing the toxic gap between rich and poor throughout the western world.   It’s called AirEx, and we are arranging an investment in it right now.

February 2020 pitch event review

10/2/2020

 
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.
​
This time, we had three start-up companies contributing to the essential transition towards zero-carbon transportation; and two working at saving an increasingly scarce resource, water:
  • Agile Charging – Fast electric vehicle charging, anywhere;
  • Furo Systems – Direct to consumer electric bikes and scooters;
  • XeroE – On-demand, emission-free deliveries;
  • Propelair – The world’s lowest water flush toilet;
  • StormHarvester – Smart drainage systems.

String of follow-on investments highlights progress of Green Angel Syndicate portfolio companies

13/1/2020

 
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.

September 2019 pitch event review

30/9/2019

 
​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:
​
  • IndiNature – 100% plant-based home insulation system;
  • Coomtech – Energy efficient drying technology for bulk materials;
  • Ventive – Naturally intelligent ventilation for new buildings;
  • Flexible Power Systems – Enabling the optimal deployment of electric vehicle fleets;
  • Thrift+ – Innovative circular economy model for the second-hand clothes.
