Sophie Bakalar is a Partner at Collaborative Fund who invests from seed to Series B (with checks typically $1M–$15M) in consumer tech, climate, energy, AI, and fintech. Her notable portfolio includes consumer brands like OLIPOP and Daily Harvest, as well as climate and AI companies such as Anthro Energy, Phaidra AI, and Dioxycle. Bakalar’s distinctive thesis applies Collaborative’s “villain test”—requiring that even a villain would use the product to prove undeniable value—and asserts that “every company will be a climate company” as climate tech becomes embedded across all industries.
