Frequently asked questions
How does Voyager Ventures source deals?
The firm sources through the founders' longstanding networks in climate policy, academic research, and technology ecosystems. Sierra Peterson's prior work in climate finance and Sarah Sclarsic's operating and science background give Voyager access to university labs, climate accelerators, and policy circles where early decarbonization technologies emerge.
Which sectors does Voyager Ventures explicitly avoid?
Voyager will not invest in companies whose core business models depend on fossil fuel extraction, production, or unabated combustion. The firm also avoids climate-adjacent software that lacks a measurable emissions-reduction pathway — it favors hardware, biotech, and deep-science interventions.
