Mike Jackson is the Managing Partner at Earthshot Ventures, a San Francisco-based early-stage climate tech fund, and previously served as a Partner at The Westly Group before founding Earthshot with Dawn Lippert in 2021. His investment thesis targets climate solutions across energy, mobility, food and agriculture, and industry/carbon sectors at Seed through Series B stages. Earthshot typically makes initial checks between $500,000 and $2.5 million and prefers to double down on existing portfolio companies rather than lead new rounds. Notable portfolio companies include KoBold Metals, Etched.ai, and Vaulted Deep, which are breakout successes in the climate sector. Jackson describes Earthshot as “carbon generalists” who invest broadly in both software and step-change hardware to address climate change. He has 20 years of experience as an investor and entrepreneur in the climate sector, with his investments collectively raising over $1.1 billion in follow-on funding from top-tier investors like Sequoia Capital and Microsoft.
