Change Ventures

Change Ventures

We are not alone.

Day by day we are astonished and impressed by the people we meet on our way. People with an ambition to make a change. People who want to challenge current business models based on over consumption and exponential growth. Business models with no or limited concern for the negative impact they leave behind.

Change ventures was founded to make a change. An investment company for a better future offering more patient capital to sustainable start-ups.

On this page you can see the startups we are involved with.

a:gain

During a private building project, we faced a common dilemma. To repair or tear down?

The building and construction sector consume 40% of the world’s energy and 50% of raw materials, producing 30% of waste and 30% of carbon dioxide in return. Mainly because it is too troublesome and expensive to re-use materials.

a:gain are turning waste into new circular products at scale to drive change in the construction industry.

Another Closet

We buy far too many clothes.

So many that the clothing industry is considered one of the most polluting industries in the world.

Another Closet challenges the use-and-throw-away culture in the clothing industry and offers a new community driven concept where people borrow clothes from each other. The results speak for themselves.

Dansk Flora Frø

"Patience is a virtue" they say and nature will return when it has time and space. Still, it can make sense to help it on its way.

With the investment in Dansk Flora Frø, we want to help spread and preserve the genetic diversity of Danish flora.

We start with a focus on North Zealand and will help with assisted spreading at Langelandsgaard.

Planetary

Guided by nature, In service of life!

Planetary takes full responsibility as an evergreen investment fund, investing patient capital within agriculture, food and biodiversity.

Searine

We love the ocean but are often surprised by the lack of green transition within the yachting industry. 99% of all Danish Yachts are petrol or diesel powered. Often with motors of old and poor condition, noisy and polluting.

Searine has developed a revolutionary electric motor that harnesses the ocean currents to generate clean, renewable energy.

Søuld

Along the Danish coasts, there are large amounts of eelgrass that have washed up from the sea.

Søuld harvest this natural and carbon-binding material to produce interior wall and ceiling cladding with exceptional acoustic performance.
