Keep Our Planet Alive.
Keeping Our Planet Alive.
As the stewards of the Earth and its invaluable resources, we at kopa ventures, stand united under a simple, yet profound motto: "Keeping Our Planet Alive."
​
When we speak of keeping our planet alive, we do not merely refer to the physical rock orbiting the sun. We refer to the intricacies of life — the rich tapestry of ecosystems, the mesmerizing symphony of biodiversity, and the interplay of countless organisms that make our home truly alive.​
Addressing the complexities of climate change requires not just acknowledgment but proactive intervention. As a venture capital fund, we are uniquely positioned to foster, encourage, and invest in innovations and entrepreneurs that will not only combat climate change but redefine our relationship with nature.
"Keeping Our Planet Alive" is a declaration of purpose, a recognition of the challenges before us, and a commitment to a vision where our economy and nature coexist in harmony.
​
We can accelerate a climate positive economy. Together.

Unlocking a world of possibilities, venture capital holds the key to financing innovative solutions that are paving the way for a sustainable future.
We assess the true environmental impact of each potential investment. In our impact methodology, we not only review the typical carbon metrics, such as greenhouse gas emissions reduced or captured, but also other material impact KPIs in the context of biodiversity and resources management.
By adopting this structured approach, we aim to maximize the impact and returns of our investments.
