Better Earth Ventures
About

A Singapore-based platform for climate and agrifood innovation

We connect founders to the capital, networks and strategic partners they need to scale solutions for people, place and planet: across the Asia-Pacific region where the stakes for food and climate are highest.

Founded in 2024, built on a much longer track record

Better Earth Ventures accelerates the development and deployment of technologies that mitigate climate change and make food systems more resilient. We are a small team in Singapore working across the region.

Between us, our team has supported more than 370 startups, which have gone on to raise over US$500m. We bring that operating experience to programmes delivered with EIT Climate-KIC, Innovate UK, ClimateLaunchpad and partners across Asia-Pacific.

We spend as much time on farms and factory floors as we do in boardrooms. Real climate progress is relational, systemic and slower than slides suggest: designing for that is the whole job.
