Kiilto Ventures is an impact first, early-stage VC focused on the sustainability and livability of the built environment.
Our purpose is to future-proof the built environment and make it great for the planet and people. That’s why we invest in and build companies that could positively impact key verticals in the built environment, which is currently responsible for nearly 40% of all global CO2 emissions.

We support startups in their early stages as an active owner. In practice, this includes potential board work and hands-on assistance with research, development and innovation, go-to-market, and fundraising. Our team consists of industry experts and entrepreneurs passionate about making a difference and our networks expands from industry professionals to global startup & investor scene. We normally come in as an investor at pre-seed or seed round.

Our portfolio is made up of companies that are accelerating positive change for the planet, people and the built environment – from emerging materials to AI-powered solutions. We are the venture arm of Kiilto, a over 100-year-old, family-owned company, so we are not afraid of a long-term horizon.
