For corporate investors

 

 

Flex-term structure

 

Years of working with corporates and gaining a sense of their needs have led us to design a proprietary solution for funds: the Emerald flex-term structure.

What does this mean?

The innovation pipeline, collaboration, deal flow and investment period have no assigned end date meaning that investors continue to get access to technology and to our team without having to make an additional commitment. Plus, the structure allows us to continue to identify the most exciting technology developments within our sectors, and therefore keep investors informed of the most cutting-edge innovations in their field.

This structure allows for strategic investments in cleantech and climate tech across many sectors:

  • Energy
  • Sustainable Packaging
  • Water & Wastewater
  • Food & Agriculture
  • Industrial IT
  • Mobility & Urbanization

Tailored mandates

 

For large corporates that prefer to focus their resources on achieving strategic collaborations, we offer CVC (Corporate Venture Capital) as a service and manage the investment side of the corporate’s CVC.

Under this model, Emerald provides deep technology and market expertise, innovation scouting, access to deal flow, transaction structuring, portfolio management, and advisory services—while all portfolio investment decisions remain with our partners.
