Planet A

Planet A is an early-stage European tech VC backing founders solving the world’s greatest systemic challenges. We use rigorous scientific impact assessments to identify solutions the world cannot afford to ignore across neo manufacturing, energy, critical infrastructure and resource mastery. As a small team with flat hierarchies, we live by our core values: excellency, transparency, trust, humbleness, conviction, and respect. Investments include Gigaton, Aris Machina, AUAR, INERATEC, Makersite, C1, HIVED, traceless materials and Optiml.

At Planet A we rely on rigorous scientific impact assessments to inform investment decisions and empower founders to manage and improve their impact. We’re the first European VC with an in-house science team that calculates life cycle assessments to quantify the impact of a startup. Our scientists hold the power to veto investments if there is no significant positive and quantifiable impact.
