About Us

We are bold investors in early-stage climate & energy tech.

NetZero is today the foremost early-stage investor and venture builder in Israeli climate and energy deep tech.   

We have a venture-building approach which includes both investing in pre-prototype startups led by strong entrepreneurs, as well as identifying promising hard science technologies from leading academic labs and creating robust companies around them.

We take bold strides in green tech thanks to a unique license that we have from the Israel Innovation Authority. With this license, we effectively mitigate the risks associated with early-stage deep tech investments.

A New Venture Building Model

We go beyond traditional VCs, generating a comprehensive platform for deep tech climate innovation:

Strategic capital deployment

Significant equity investment, also as part of the IIA Incubator Track 4 program detailed here, with potential followons and intros to our network of global investors as the venture grows.

Hands-on venture building

We get our team of PhDs and industry veterans deeply involved in each venture. We also leverage our partners’ network to offer our companies access to pilot projects, and support in defining their product-market fit. 

Matching entrepreneurs to ventures

We identify promising hard science technologies from leading academic labs and transform them into scalable companies, connecting them with exceptional entrepreneurs and providing the initial influx of capital.

NetZero Labs

We provide our companies with a vibrant ecosystem to thrive, offering access to advanced chemistry labs, a dedicated dry room, and workspaces that expedite prototyping development, enabling them to scale up faster and more effectively.

De-risking early-stage investments in climate deep tech

Our unique status with the Israel Innovation Authority as an Incubator allows us to unlock substantial public funds as an integral part of our investments in ventures. This effectively enables us to mitigate the risk involved with investing in early-stage climate deep tech ventures.

This vehicle enables global corporations and venture funds to be involved in climate tech ventures with ambitious R&D cycles that others usually have to shy away from.
