We work to identify entrepreneurs
It is widely established & unanimously accepted that we as a planet & populace are in a race against time to reverse the impacts of climate change and stay within the 1.5 Degree temperature increase limit. To achieve this, we need to accelerate adoption of affordable clean-Tech solutions in both Industrial and consumer lifecycles.
At Yugo Capital, we work to identify entrepreneurs who are building Enterprise or Consumer Solutions which can help speed up this goal.
We see some early positive signs, with over $130 Trillion in Balance Sheet Assets from Financial Institutions that have already been pledged to fight climate change and make a concerted effort towards Net Zero, cost of capital for ‘Low Carbon’ investments is now lower than that of ‘High Carbon’ investments.
Over the last 18 months, there has been an increasing consensus across the globe that ‘Impact Investment’ goals and Asset Manager Fiduciary Responsibility- Maximization of Investor Returns have been converging. Moreover, approximately, over an extended 24 month investment period, stakeholder value and shareholder value are similar if not the same.
In terms of private market investments, Climate Tech now accounts for 14% of every VC Dollar. We however believe that the key is to facilitate innovative finance for emerging solutions and help many early stage start-ups escape ‘The Valley of Death’.
