Companies that matter.

We back purpose-driven founders solving the world’s biggest challenges

We champion technology founders creating a more sustainable, healthy and equitable planet.

The biggest companies of the decade will be built solving the world’s most pressing challenges, from climate change to mental health.

Giant Ventures is a multi-stage, thesis driven firm seeking systemic change across three themes:

Climate

• Health

• Inclusive Capitalism

Giant invests at Pre-Seed, Seed and Series B in Europe and the US. We’re on the ground in London, New York, California, Copenhagen and Stockholm.

As former founders, we know how hard it is to create something from nothing, and so we roll up our sleeves to help Giant founders win.
