Empowering innovators.
For people, place, and planet.

We accelerate the solutions our planet needs by connecting the climatetech and sustainability ecosystem to support entrepreneurs in building ventures that protect people, restore ecosystems, and drive systemic change.

WHO WE ARE

Better Earth Ventures is a platform for innovators who want to make the world a better place.

In 2015, the United Nations defined the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Now, in 2025, we are severely off-track to achieving more than 80% of them.

At Better Earth Ventures, we believe radical innovation and action are urgently needed.

Founded on the principles of innovation, integrity, and social-environmental responsibility, we exist to accelerate progress toward a more sustainable future.

We connect and mobilise purpose-driven startups, accelerators, investors, governments, and corporates - empowering visionary founders to develop, deploy, and scale transformative solutions.

We stand for People, Place, and Planet. Every startup we support must create positive impact across all three.

Join us in building a Better Earth, one solution at a time.
