The GET Fund invests in transformative green technologies across Europe. It focuses on Series A and B investments in startups in the energy, mobility, agriculture, food, and industrial sectors that aim to develop sustainable solutions and improve the environment. It seeks hybrid hardware-software solutions that are highly scalable and suitable for venture capital financing.
The team and the fund itself are no strangers to the ecosystem. Under the name Munich Venture Partners (MVP) They have been active as ESG and impact investors for over 15 years. With this experience behind them, the new fund is now classified as an Article 9 SFDR fund. This means that not only ecological and social aspects are taken into account, but an explicit sustainable investment objective is pursued. Financial products classified under Article 9 are also called dark green funds and are considered particularly sustainable. To achieve this, the GET fund integrates a scientifically sound impact framework based on the Triple Top Lineto align the environmental and social impacts of business models with the financial return expectations of venture capitalists.
