How to use the directory
Start with fit. Stage, sector, and geography rule out most investors before the pitch does: a fund that writes Series A checks won't take a pre-seed meeting, however strong the deck. Use the searchable version to build a short list of organizations that fund companies like yours, then read up on each one before you reach out.
Common questions
Is it free?
Yes. The list on this page is open to everyone. Share your name and email to open the searchable version.
Does a listing mean E8 recommends an organization?
No. The directory is a starting point for your research, not an endorsement. Check each organization's current focus on its own website before you reach out.
How do I suggest an addition?
Contact us with the organization's name and website. We add to the directory regularly.
Does E8 invest, too?
Yes. E8 members fund pre-seed through Series A climate companies across the United States and Canada. Here's how to apply.
