VitaminºC is a debut venture capital firm founded in 2026 by Nathalie Moral in Zurich and Sophie Lamparter in San Francisco, investing exclusively in climate technology at pre-seed and seed stage, targeting both climate mitigation and human adaptation.
VitaminºC focuses on the largest climate levers: energy, food and agriculture, carbon removal, and human adaptation. Every investment must demonstrate the potential to mitigate or remove at least 100,000 tons of CO2, or improve the resilience of 100,000 people within five years.
The firm sees the current slowdown in global climate tech funding as a defining opportunity to invest at more attractive valuations with stronger fundamentals.
VitaminºC announced the first close of its debut fund at €18 million ($20 million) in March 2026. The fund is backed by European entrepreneurial families and supported by climate tech founders and experts including Jasmine Kent (CTO and co-founder of Dufour Aerospace and Daedalean) and climate policy expert Florian Egli.
The fund invests €0.5 million to €1.5 million per company at pre-seed and seed stage. Operating from Zurich and San Francisco, the structure gives portfolio companies simultaneous access to European deep tech ecosystems and US customers, capital, and talent.
