Planeteer Capital

What they do

Founded in 2022 by Sophie Purdom and Hannah Friedman, Planeteer Capital is a specialized, climate-first venture firm. They focus on backing founders with "nonlinear ambition and otherworldly urgency" who are building asset-light B2B climate solutions. The firm recently closed its debut $54 million fund in June 2025, backed by prominent LPs including former Meta CTO Mike Schroepfer and Pivotal Ventures. Planeteer leverages its unparalleled market intelligence and deep network to act as a high-conviction lead investor in the climate ecosystem.

What they look for

Planeteer Capital provides "capital for the age of consequences." They exist to find and fund a limited set of founders with "nonlinear ambition and otherworldly urgency." They target asset-light B2B climate companies across the hardware-to-software spectrum, specifically looking for founders pulling the future forward at the "interstitial spaces" between recognized sectors, such as carbon management, industrial decarbonization, the built environment, climate intelligence and insurance, and sustainable agriculture. They highly value founders who are obsessed with solving real customer problems rather than just building "world-changing" technology in a vacuum.
