Pulse Fund is a Los Angeles-based venture capital firm founded by Tenzin Seldon, investing in early-stage climate companies. The firm takes a cross-sector view, treating energy, food and agriculture, infrastructure, and mobility as interconnected systems rather than isolated verticals.
Pulse Fund invests in early-stage climate companies across energy transition, food and agriculture, infrastructure, and mobility.
The firm's thesis centers on the interdependencies between these sectors, looking for opportunities at the points where they intersect and compound rather than treating each as an isolated vertical.
Pulse invests globally, with a base in Los Angeles.
Pulse Fund closed its inaugural fund, Pulse Fund I, at $63 million in September 2026.
Limited partners include Beneficient (Nasdaq: BENF), C6 Partners, Pivotal Foundation, the Pritzker family, Veronica Chou of Novel Fashion Holdings, David Osborn of DRO Investments, and an Asia-based sovereign wealth fund.
Leadership
Pulse Fund was founded by Tenzin Seldon (Founder & Managing Partner), who studied mathematics and climate policy at Stanford and, as a Rhodes Scholar, at Oxford.
She previously worked at the UN Environment Programme on disaster risk reduction and built and scaled climate companies before moving into venture capital.
She is joined by Rhod Needham (Venture Partner) and Kim Mueller (CFO/COO).
Investment Strategy
The firm invests at the early stage, seeking opportunities at the convergence points between energy, food and agriculture, infrastructure, and mobility, where it believes the biggest returns and the strongest risk mitigation come from understanding how these systems compound each other.
