Ecotone Partners

I'm moving to London! 🇬🇧 After an incredible 2.5+ years at Ecotone Partners, it’s time for a new adventure! I'm excited to dive into the European ClimateTech space and immerse myself in a new ecosystem where I can drive real impact. 💪 Huge thanks to Daniel, Amanda, Jeremy, and Nicole—I’m deeply grateful for everything I’ve learned from them. Their mentorship and unwavering belief have been truly instrumental in shaping my growth and fuelling my passion for the climate space. From launching Ecotone Ventures with support from LaunchVic, to investing in amazing startups like CLT Toolbox, Rntr., and Bearhug, among others, and helping launch our new Planet Fund starting right here at Sanders Place, it’s been an unforgettable journey growing alongside a visionary team committed to the climate transition. 🌿 I remain deeply passionate about tackling humanity’s greatest challenge—climate change—and I’m looking to join a ClimateTech startup (e.g. strategy, founder's associate, growth), fund, or entrepreneurial hub in London! Would love to connect with anyone in the London ClimateTech ecosystem—let’s grab a coffee when I arrive next month! Please reach out or tag someone awesome I should meet! ☕

Honoured to speak on the Science vs. Scale panel at the National Tech Summit in Melbourne, where we discussed why climate solutions need diverse investment models. Climate change impacts every sector, and we need funding for both bold, transformative solutions AND scalable solutions ready to deliver near-term emission reductions. Thanks to our moderator, Kate Cornick, and my co-panellists James Tynan and Michael Tolo for a fantastic discussion.

We were excited to host the launch of The Planet Fund in Melbourne last week! 🎉 It was an incredible evening, filled with meaningful connections and a shared passion for tackling one of the most urgent challenges of our time—the climate transition. 🌱 A big thank you to Sanders Place, our co-working space focused on social and environmental impact, for hosting the event. If you’re looking for a community-driven space or venue, contact justin mayne. We also appreciate LaunchVic for their ongoing support of both our mission and the Victorian startup ecosystem. 💪 If you'd like to find out more about The Planet Fund, please reach out or check out our website: https://lnkd.in/gyHVfGRP

Ecotone Partners is excited to announce that we've been awarded a grant from LaunchVic's VC Support Program for the Planet Fund, our soon-to-be launched fund focused on investing in climate solutions that are ready to scale. We believe there is a 'missing-middle' in climate finance, where many climate solutions don't fit neatly into existing VC, PE, or private debt strategies. The Planet Fund aims to bridge this gap by offering flexible funding solutions tailored to the needs of climate-tech startups - often those involved in manufacturing or more asset intensive solutions. We’re grateful for LaunchVIC’s support and excited about Victoria's role as a hub for impactful climate-tech innovations.
