About

Pachamama Ventures is a San Francisco-based venture capital firm backing breakthrough companies building for the climate reindustrialization of the physical world. It invests at the pre-seed stage, when conviction in a founder's vision matters more than traction, across advanced materials, energy systems and industrial platforms. The firm connects portfolio companies to Fortune 500 procurement relationships through its Managing Partner's 16 years of operating experience inside Fortune 100 companies including Visa, PepsiCo and American Airlines.

Investment approach

Thesis
We are at the beginning of a Second Industrialization. The first Industrial Revolution transformed the physical world through steam, steel, and scale. What comes next will be defined by breakthrough materials, next-generation energy systems, and intelligent industrial platforms — technologies that don't just improve on the old infrastructure, but replace it entirely. This transition will be the largest capital formation event of our generation. Pachamama Ventures exists to back the founders leading it. We focus on pre-seed stage companies building in: Advanced Materials — novel inputs that make industrial processes cleaner, cheaper, and more resilient Energy Systems — generation, storage, and distribution technologies that decarbonize at scale Industrial Platforms — AI, software and data infrastructure that optimize the physical economy Our edge is commercial access. With 16 years of operating experience inside Fortune 100 companies — including Visa, PepsiCo, and American Airlines — our Managing Partner connects portfolio companies to enterprise procurement relationships that most early-stage funds cannot offer. We are mission-aligned investors. We select partners who share our conviction that the reindustrialization of the global economy is both a generational business opportunity and an essential climate imperative.Source (opens in a new tab)
