A new report by S2G Ventures highlights the growing interest among asset owners in climate investments, with 74% expecting to increase their allocations in the coming years. However, the report also reveals significant barriers, including organizational limitations and a lack of fit-for-purpose capital markets, hindering progress. S2G proposes an enabling ecosystem to address these challenges and facilitate a successful ‘climate relay race’ from high-risk to institutional investments.
S2G Ventures, a climate tech investment firm founded by Walmart heir Lukas Walton, is gaining independence from its parent organization, Builders Vision. While Walton remains a supportive investor, S2G is expanding its funding base and continuing its mission to invest in startups focused on energy, agriculture, and oceans. With a portfolio of over 100 companies and $2 billion in assets under management, S2G provides support from seed stage to growth and infrastructure investments, addressing the ‘valley of death’ faced by climate tech startups.
