In a landmark move, A/O, a London-based venture capital firm, has announced the first close of its €250m (£214.5m) green proptech fund. This monumental step signals A/O’s commitment to fostering innovation in the rapidly evolving green proptech sector, as the firm focuses on driving sustainability in real estate.
A/O Transitioning to Green Technology
Gregory Dewerpe, A/O’s founder and chief innovation officer, sees this fund as a milestone. He stated,
“We believe this is one of the largest industry transitions of our generation, that will see the emergence of some of the most significant category-defining technology companies globally.”
The green proptech fund showcases the promising potential of AI in accelerating automation, efficiency, and transparency across real estate.
Investing in Sustainable Futures
A/O’s green proptech fund has already made a powerful start. The German home energy assessment startup, Enter, successfully raised £16.6m in a Series A round this year as the first investment of the fund. With a history of investing in seed to Series B startups across the UK, Europe, and North America, A/O continues to champion innovation in the sector.
Conclusion
A/O’s £214.5m green proptech fund is more than a financial investment. It represents a vision and belief in building a sustainable future for real estate. From reducing emissions to accelerating the transition to clean energy, the fund sets a bold course towards reshaping the industry. Dewerpe’s conviction that AI will play a key role in this transition is a tantalizing glimpse of what’s to come.
