Founders of Voltfang
Co-Founder & CEO of The Landbanking Group
Without compromises.
We want to drive systemic change - through our investments and our engagement in the impact investing community.
We want to see a world with less resource extraction, where materials are recycled and reused.
We want to foster a net-zero world and innovation in renewable energy.
We want to support thriving terrestrial and ocean ecosystems.
We want to end discrimination, create equal chances, increase social stability, and ensure fair access to critical services for all.
We work with founders who are intrinsically motivated by enacting systemic change.
Voltfang was founded in 2020 in Aachen, Germany, and specializes in using end-of-life batteries from electric vehicles as sustainable stationary energy storage for industrial applications. Their main goal is to provide cost-effective and sustainable battery storage to support the energy transition.
The Landbanking Group was founded in 2022 in Munich, Germany. They incentivize nature regeneration by enabling land stewards to register, monitor, and exchange assets based on a measured uplift in natural capital such as biodiversity, and water and soil quality.
UNDO was founded in 2022 in London, UK. They are a carbon dioxide removal project developer specializing in enhanced rock weathering, a technology that locks away CO2 permanently while improving soil health and food security. UNDO spreads crushed silicate rock such as basalt on agricultural land, speeding up a natural process that would take hundreds or thousands of years to twenty years.
CleanHub was founded in 2019 in Berlin, Germany, and is on a mission to remove non-recyclable plastic in coastal areas where plastic typically ends up in oceans or is burned at open landfills. They do this by managing local waste collection partners, who collect, separate and deliver the waste to cement factories to substitute coal in energy input, and selling verified plastic credits to FMCG brands.
