Superorganism is the first venture capital firm dedicated exclusively to biodiversity. The firm invests in pre-seed and seed-stage startups developing technologies and business models that protect, restore, and regenerate nature while creating scalable commercial outcomes. Based in San Francisco and New York, Superorganism backs founders tackling biodiversity loss, climate resilience, conservation technology, regenerative agriculture, ocean health, circular economy solutions, and nature-positive innovation.
Its investment strategy focuses on three core themes: addressing drivers of species extinction, advancing climate and biodiversity solutions simultaneously, and enabling breakthrough technologies that improve conservation outcomes. Through its mentor network of leading entrepreneurs, scientists, conservationists, and investors, Superorganism helps founders build companies that create an abundant future for both people and nature.
Superorganism believes biodiversity is one of the largest investment opportunities and most urgent challenges of the 21st century. The firm invests in startups that reduce drivers of ecosystem degradation, accelerate nature-positive economic systems, and leverage technology to protect and restore natural capital.
The fund focuses on businesses operating at the intersection of biodiversity, climate, conservation, and technology, supporting founders developing scalable solutions in agriculture, oceans, forestry, circular economy, conservation technology, AI, genomics, robotics, and environmental data infrastructure.
