Climate change is the most pressing issue facing humanity. While everyone knows about the large-scale dangers of the climate crisis, there are very few enterprises that are solely dedicated to mitigating human impacts on the planet. The next great wealth-generating industry will be climate solutions – and it has to be! At Point 01, we expect the same market forces that degraded our resources will save us.

We believe that out of 10,000 great ideas to solve the climate crisis, 1,000 of them grew into startups with viable business models, and 100 of those startups grew into industry-disrupting, trillion dollar enterprises. Those 100 revolutionary companies are the .01 – the small fraction of ideas that realize incredible success while ensuring we have a planet to live on.
