Venture capital firm Superorganism announced that it has raised $25.9 million in commitments at the close its debut flagship fund, aimed at investing in startups driving technology-driven solutions for biodiversity.
Founded to address the growing intersection between venture capital and nature, Superorganism invests in early-stage companies developing technologies to protect and restore biodiversity. The company said that the new fund comes as nature-based risks are increasingly influencing how companies approach supply chains, product development, and long-term strategy, driving demand for scalable technological solutions.
Kevin Webb, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Superorganism, said:
“The idea that nature and economic progress must always conflict is outdated. Nature already underpins our global economy, from supply chains, to food systems, to the air we breathe. We are backing entrepreneurs who understand this, and are reshaping industries to work better for humans and ecosystems alike.”
The fund targets companies operating across three key themes, including technologies that address key drivers of extinction in sectors such as agriculture and forestry, solutions that deliver benefits for both climate and biodiversity, and enabling technologies including remote sensing, genomics and artificial intelligence used in conservation efforts.
Investors in the new fund include AMB Holdings, Builders Vision, Cisco Foundation, Stray, Understorey Ventures and Wedgetail, alongside individual backers.
James Lindsay, Director of Investments at Builders Vision, said:
“Builders Vision is proud to invest in Superorganism as the redefine what’s possible in nature-focused innovation. The opportunity ahead is immense. Technologies that restore ecosystems are rapidly becoming competitive advantages for businesses across sectors. Superorganism is helping entrepreneurs capture this momentum and create solutions that can deliver regenerative outcomes and long-term economic value.”
Superorganism has so far invested in 20 startups which have collectively raised more than US$100 million in follow-on funding. Portfolio companies work in areas such as nature data and ocean robotics.
Tom Quigley, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Superorganism, said:
“When built for the right industries and customers, technology-driven solutions can help slow and reverse biodiversity loss. By backing founders at the earliest stages and connecting them with the right expertise, capital and partnerships, we are accelerating the emergence of an entirely new category of nature-first companies.”
In addition to its investment activity, Superorganism has committed to allocating 10% of firm profits toward future conservation efforts.
