Pale Blue Dot is Sweden’s first dedicated climate venture capital firm, founded in 2020 in Malmö by former tech entrepreneurs Joel Larsson, Heidi Lindvall, and Hampus Jakobsson to back early-stage companies tackling climate change through software and hardware. The firm invests exclusively in pre-seed and seed-stage climate tech startups across Europe and the United States, covering sectors such as agri/food tech, energy transition, mobility, biotech, and logistics. It typically leads rounds with check sizes between €500,000 and €2 million, targeting 10%+ ownership stakes in most investments. Notable portfolio companies include Monta (an electric vehicle charging network that exited in 2023), Patch (a carbon-offsetting platform), Phytoform (a computational biology crop company), and Overstory (a forest-risk analytics startup). The fund’s distinctive philosophy merges impact with commercial viability, emphasizing that the next generation of billion-dollar companies must be built with climate in mind, and its name derives from Carl Sagan’s iconic Earth photograph to underscore planetary fragility.
