British Venture firm 2150 today announced the final close of its €210 million second fund, bringing total AUM to €500 million – continuing their focus on backing technology companies seeking to reshape our cities and the industries that power them.
Investors include Viessmann Generations Group, Chr. Augustinus Fabrikker, Novo Holdings, the Danish sovereign fund EIFO, Security Trading Oy, Islandbridge Capital, Fund of Funds Carbon Equity, and the US-based Church Pension Group.
Christian Jolck, 2150 co-founder and Partner, says: “Four years after unveiling 2150 we have raised €500 million, invested into 27 companies and mitigated over a megatonne of CO2e per year. Our exceptional founders are building companies of scale with an aggregate revenue of over $1 billion and over 4,500 employees.”
This final close of 2150’s Fund II sits within a broader pattern of capital formation in European climate, energy and industrial decarbonisation investing during 2025 and 2026, as reported by EU-Startups.
Comparable activity includes Berlin-based Future Energy Ventures, which closed a €205 million second fund focused on energy transition technologies, and Barcelona-headquartered Suma Capital, which raised €210 million for its SC Net Zero Ventures I fund targeting industrial decarbonisation and related infrastructure.
Alongside these larger vehicles, EU-Startups has also highlighted mid-sized and early-stage funds such as Índico Capital Partners, which launched a €125 million Fund III with a remit that includes climate-adjacent technologies, and Rubio Impact Ventures, which closed a €70 million impact-focused fund with climate as a core theme.
At the company level, funding rounds such as Spark Cleantech’s €30 million raise for clean industrial energy solutions illustrate parallel deployment of capital into operating businesses.
Taken together, these announcements represent approximately €640 million in disclosed funding commitments across funds and startups in adjacent sectors, highlighting the scale of capital flowing into urban, energy and industrial climate technologies over 2025 period.
“For Fund II, we have continued to partner with leading institutional investors across Europe, North America, and Asia, and who have invested in this category for multiple cycles. This combination gives us strong conviction in 2150’s ability to deliver attractive long-term returns and a long-standing investment platform,” adds Christian.
