    About the company

    Congruent Ventures is a leading early stage venture firm that invests against global macro trends in sustainability and climate tech across four themes: Mobility and Urbanization, the Energy Transition, Food and Agriculture,  and Sustainable Production and Consumption.  Founded in 2017, Congruent has invested in nearly 60 companies from pre-to Series A-stage companies. Investing out of its third flagship fund and first continuity growth fund, the firm has ~$1B AUM.  Congruent’s team is 12 strong and is based in downtown San Francisco and invests across North America. 


    The Congruent team is small, nimble, and collaborative.  We do not tolerate jerks, nor do we tolerate interpersonal politicking; we value diversity of opinion, background, and experience.  We value respectful but knowledge-based discussions and believe the best investment decisions are made when opinions differ, but the facts have been thoughtfully discussed by the investment team and considered without deferring exclusively to position.  Everyone has a voice and should not be reticent to use it.
