Problem
European industries face mounting regulatory pressure to reduce waste and CO2 emissions, yet many lack commercially viable circular solutions that can be adopted without massive capital expenditure. Existing infrastructure is often overlooked in favor of disruptive innovation, slowing the speed of adoption for sustainable practices and leaving a significant funding gap for scale-ready companies.
Solution
Una Terra is an early-growth impact venture capital fund that invests in and supports European companies transitioning from linear to circular business models. The fund targets asset-light, commercially validated businesses (Series A+) and applies a drop-in strategy, integrating circular products and materials into existing infrastructure to minimize technology and market risks. Beyond capital, Una Terra provides active management and operational support, helping portfolio companies scale with a focus on where to play and how to win. This approach aims to deliver both climate and biodiversity impact alongside financial returns.
Target Audience
Una Terra serves institutional and qualified investors seeking measurable environmental impact alongside financial returns, as well as European scale-up companies in circular economy sectors that are ready for Series A+ growth capital.
