Frequently asked questions
What investment stages does The Footprint Firm typically target?
The firm invests from early-stage — including startup rounds — through growth equity, according to its stated strategy. This range allows it to back technology risk at the seed level and scale proven decarbonization solutions with later-stage capital. The focus remains on companies where engineering and industrial deployment, rather than software margins, drive the impact thesis.
Which sectors does The Footprint Firm explicitly avoid?
The firm's mandate excludes any sector or business model that does not produce a verifiable reduction in environmental footprint. It does not invest in general enterprise software, fintech, or consumer internet companies without a direct decarbonization link. Pure carbon-offset marketplaces and project developers also fall outside the core focus unless paired with hardware or industrial-process innovation.
How does The Footprint Firm source proprietary deal flow?
The firm's Copenhagen location provides access to deal flow emerging from the Nordic clean-tech research ecosystem and regional public-private partnerships targeted at industrial decarbonization. Network effects from Danish institutional investors — several of which operate under mandatory net-zero asset allocations — create proprietary co-investment channels. The firm's concentrated climate mandate also attracts founders seeking sector-specialized rather than generalist capital.
