Possible Ventures targets early-stage companies, primarily in pre-seed and seed rounds, while remaining open to later-stage opportunities that align with its approach. Investments are guided by a focus on solutions in environmental systems, energy transition, food and agriculture, new materials, circular economy, drug discovery, precision medicine and financial inclusion. The team seeks out ventures at the intersection of deep tech, life sciences and software platforms, where cross-disciplinary work can generate novel outcomes.

Clean tech and battery technology make up an important area of the firm’s portfolio.

These examples show how the firm supports practical solutions that strengthen energy reliability and reduce environmental impact.
