What I Do: four Key Initiatives

VC Funds Management

I create and manage venture capital funds that invest in ClimateTech startups with the power to shape global impact. From pre-seed to early growth, I work hand in hand with founders, offering not just capital but also guidance, connections, and support. My goal is to scale bold technologies that fight climate change while building sustainable value for investors.

Venture Capital Unlocked

Venture Capital Unlocked is my course designed to open the black box of venture capital. It provides aspiring investors, entrepreneurs, and professionals with a complete journey through the VC world: from the history and fundamentals of funds, to building an investment thesis, launching and managing a fund, evaluating startups, and navigating exits. With practical insights, case studies, and real-world examples, participants gain the mindset and tools to think like a VC, support founders effectively, and seize opportunities in innovation and ClimateTech.

Venture Scout Unlocked

Venture Scout Unlocked is my education-first program designed to open the black box of how venture capital decisions are observed and understood in practice. It offers aspiring investors and future venture professionals a structured journey into how deals are sourced, evaluated and discussed in real investment contexts. The program is not a job or internship, but a learning experience focused on exposure and judgment. Through supervised observation of real investment activity within venture capital funds and vehicles managed or advised by Claudio Colombo, participants gain practical insight into decision-making dynamics and develop the mindset needed to think like a venture scout within the innovation and ClimateTech ecosystem.

Advisory

Through my advisory work, I support both startups and venture capital fund managers in navigating the challenges of growth and investment. For founders, this means guidance on strategy, fundraising, and scaling innovative solutions in ClimateTech and beyond. For fund managers, it means tailored advice on structuring, fundraising, and managing funds effectively. My role is to provide clarity, share experience, and open doors, helping both sides of the ecosystem create lasting impact.
