Connect Ventures

Congruent Ventures is a San Francisco-based seed and Series A venture capital firm focused exclusively on climate technology, founded by Abe Yokell and Josh Posamentier. Congruent focuses on companies that combine software-driven business models with physical climate solutions, investing at the boundary of pure software investing and hardware-intensive clean technology in areas including waste management, sustainable agriculture, environmental intelligence, and clean transportation. The firm's investment thesis is grounded in the observation that the most impactful climate solutions combine software-driven business models with physical infrastructure or hardware, creating companies with the durability of physical assets alongside the scalability of software businesses. Congruent invests with initial checks from $1 million to $5 million and seeks companies in markets underserved by both traditional cleantech funds and traditional software venture funds. Portfolio companies include AMP Robotics, the AI-powered recycling platform; Electriphi, the fleet intelligence platform for EV fleets acquired by Ford in 2021; Pachama, the carbon offset marketplace and forest carbon monitoring platform; and Xpansiv, the environmental commodities marketplace. Beyond its original investments, the portfolio includes additional climate companies.
