About Prelude Ventures

Prelude Ventures collaborates with innovators to tackle climate change through venture capital funding. Over the past eight years, we've backed more than 40 businesses in categories such as advanced energy, food and agriculture, transportation and logistics, advanced materials and manufacturing, and advanced computing. Our dedication to the sector is unwavering, and we assume calculated risks, balancing a focus on venture-level returns with an awareness of extended deep-tech and hardware development timelines. Simons family philanthropic organizations are the only ones who manage Prelude's capital, and we are also a founding member of the Breakthrough Energy Coalition.
