Vitality Capital Partners

Vitality Capital Partners launched in Sydney as a dedicated multi-manager climate-tech investment platform focused exclusively on the APAC region. The firm was founded by Keshav Puri, Ayush Kapila and Davin Briner, who together hold more than 25 years of combined experience allocating capital across venture, growth, direct and secondary transactions. Briner, with 15 years as a private-markets investor, and Kapila, who previously helped establish funds of over $1 billion, brought operational and deployment infrastructure-building expertise while Puri contributed global allocator networks. The firm markets itself as backed by mission-aligned investors who recognize that decarbonizing APAC is essential to any global net-zero pathway. The firm's architecture is a multi-manager climate-tech platform that blends primary fund commitments with direct co-investments and secondary purchases — a structure that spreads exposure across vintages, sub-sectors, and stages. VCP deploys capital from seed through to growth, targeting managers and companies developing solutions across energy transition, mobility, agri-food systems and industrial decarbonization. The firm reports using a proprietary 300-point fund-selection process to identify specialist climate managers and states that its limited partners gain visibility into more than 200 APAC climate-tech companies through the portfolio. Its geographic footprint spans the wider Asia-Pacific region, including Australia and Southeast Asia, though the firm has not publicly disclosed a specific deployment figure or dated fund close. VCP does not publish total assets under management or fund size, and the firm has not disclosed a precise headcount, though its public-facing team lists the three founding principals alongside a careers page that suggests active hiring. The firm is not known to operate adjacent philanthropic or real-asset vehicles. No recent operational event — such as a fund close, senior hire or portfolio company exit — could be verified within the last 24 months from public sourcing. The firm's own website copyright notice references 2025 alongside 2024, indicating an active web presence with no dated operational milestones. The structural differentiator is VCP's fund-of-funds model applied specifically to APAC climate-tech, a positioning it claims is unique among climate-tech platforms which it says are concentrated in North America and Europe. By acting as a fund investor and co-investment partner to specialist local managers, VCP provides institutional and family-office allocators an intermediary layer for climate exposure across a region where direct deal access, regulatory fragmentation and manager selection pose high barriers. This framework makes the firm's investment committee — not an external GP — the decision layer for which underlying climate strategies receive capital.
