Venture capital investments in nature tech startups have been developing over the past three years with early-stage deals rising by 130 per cent between 2020 and 2022 and average deal sizes for seed to series B funding increased by 70 per cent.

Data from Nature4Climate suggests that nature tech, previously often considered a vertical sub-sector within the climate tech VC market, has now generated an accumulated amount of VC investments of $7.5bn ibn the last five years alone.

Innovation, market research, and the application of nature tech are generating high levels of investor interest as new products, new companies, new ideas, and new markets are emerging and pose a disruptive challenge to incumbents and offer the prospect of positive change in building a decarbonised and nature-positive global economy.
