Congratulations to Impact Earth for their Tropical Resilience Fund, Matanataki Pte Ltd for raising the Matanataki Pacific Fund 1, VitaminºC for their focus on CO2 reduction and human adaptation, and the Sustainable Noble Assets Platform (SNAP) for accelerating industrial decarbonization and circular economy solutions in Sub-Saharan Africa, all of which drive impactful change in climate finance.
Let’s meet the members of the ICFA 2025 Cohort:
🏆 Building on the success of its first advisory vehicle, the Amazon Biodiversity Fund (BRL 250 million), Impact Earth continues its mission to drive impactful investment in environmental finance with the Tropical Resilience Fund that will expand this vision across the Tropical Belt, providing catalytic venture debt to enterprises and projects that conserve and restore natural ecosystems while supporting sustainable livelihoods. Designed to deliver interlinked climate mitigation, climate adaptation, biodiversity enhancement, and social impact, the fund targets vulnerable populations in tropical frontier markets.
🏆 Matanataki Pte Ltd, a woman-founded business developer and emerging fund manager in Fiji, is launching the Matanataki Pacific Fund 1. The fund provides investors with access to community-serving, gender equitable businesses that deliver climate resilience to Pacific communities, with coral reefs as the guiding star indicating the health and climate resilience of the whole.
🏆 VitaminºC is a female-led early-stage venture fund investing in climate mitigation and human adaptation. Their north star is CO2 reduction to mitigate climate change, with a focus on major CO₂-emission “bubbles”: energy transition, food & agriculture, and carbon removal—complemented by solutions that strengthen human resilience and health. They rewire venture capital with systemic thinking and support founders beyond capital through the dedicated non-profit Vitamin°C lab.
🏆 The Sustainable Noble Assets Platform (SNAP) accelerates industrial decarbonization and circular economy solutions in Sub-Saharan Africa. Built on Zoscales’ prior investment experience, SNAP targets hard-to-abate sectors with commercially anchored, resilient solutions tied to real-economy demand. The platform is designed with a deep understanding of local contexts and a commitment to measurable impact, including emissions reduction, job creation, and gender inclusion.
Congratulations to these outstanding fund managers, we are very much looking forward to work together to solve the planet’s most pressing issue – climate change!
