Climate impact data company

Connect Earth is an environmental data company working with banks and fintechs to offer customers insights into the impact of their spending and investments on the climate.

Its technology is integrated with banking groups such as KBC Bank, community banks and fintech firms in Europe and the United States.

We led a £4.65mn investment round in March 2023 to support the business’ next stage of growth.

Investment rationale

Our investment will be used to accelerate Connect Earth’s expansion among blue chip names in Europe and the US, where it has already begun working with financial institutions and strategic partners such as FIS Global.

The additional funding aims to support and enhance their product offering by breaking down further barriers to the access of environmental data.

The investment round also featured Love Ventures, Global Brain and its partner The Norinchukin Bank, Portfolio Ventures, Super Capital VC, as well as strategic angel investors and existing investors Market One Capital, Mustard Seed MAZE and Venista Ventures.
