INV/E/N CAPITAL

Congratulations to our portfolio company Hometree , which has just secured the first ever UK residential renewable securitisation - a £250m asset backed debt facility from Barclays. This is significant milestone is the culmination of lots of hard work from Simon, David, Rory, Matthew, Zack and the whole team at Hometree. Practically this can enable 28,000 households to move off gas and into generating their own electricity in the next 2-3 years - no small feat! Hometree is enabling a decarbonised reality sooner for many households, delivering impact at scale. Please take a look at Simon's Blog Post as well which gives a great overview of his personal and Hometree's journey so far. https://lnkd.in/eJTjsfeu ☀ 🚀 🌲 💚 🏡 Daniel Edgerley, Ivo Němejc, Rahul Parekh, Andrew Rendel, Nazo Moosa, Silje Merete S.

Thank you for making our Soul of a Winner event unforgettable! A whole “village” of more than 200 of our friends, portfolio founders, co-investors and family came to Prague. Together we embraced creativity, cooperation and sharing, and explored how systemic solutions are required to solve climate change challenges. We got aligned with Ryan (Ra) James around the purpose (WHY) to remember that “… for a “village” to survive, we have to take care of the things that take care of us …”. We got inspired by Geert-Jan 'GJ' Van Der Zanden around HOW to turn this challenge into the biggest commercial opportunity – Transforming our Critical Systems (https://lnkd.in/ej-StGdP). Having in mind that “Profit without purpose creates poverty”. We teamed up with The Climate Brick and shared a practical example of systemic change in European VC (WHAT) - highlighting 7 archetypes of business models and fundraising frameworks to help enable the next generation of climate tech startups.   See you next year!  Your Inven Capital team Ted Persson, Robina v.

Great fun at the Energy Tech Summit in Bilbao last week! 🤝 Awesome to see that six of our portfolio companies were invited by other funds and Inven to the side event “Growth Meets Capital” where they had meetings with investors to prepare for their next growth rounds. 🚀 Always a pleasure to meet! Simon Phelan - Hometree , Jamie Heywood - zolar , Håkan Ludvigson - Eliq , Keith Bradbury - Ember, Vit Javurek - Woltair, Christian Deilmann - tado° These six companies combined avoided close to 2megatons of Co2 since inception until EoY 2023 which is equivalent of transporting more than 3 million passengers from NYC to London by plane!
