Rainmaking Impact (Now Raspberry Ventures)

🎉 🎉 Deal announcement 🎉 🎉 We are thrilled to share our recent investment in Carbonade, a deep tech company developing a groundbreaking electrochemical solution capable of capturing and transforming CO2 into fossil-free, net-zero products, such as synthetic fuel, plastic, and chemicals, alongside prominent investors such as SOSV (IndieBio), E44 Ventures, Susquehanna International Group, LLP (SIG) and Arc Impact. Built upon decades of peer-reviewed research Carbonade has successfully engineered a patented catalyst that facilitates the capture and utilization of CO2 with the lowest energy consumption ever recorded in history.

Since our launch in June 2022, Rainmaking Impact has emerged as one of the most active investment syndicates in the European ecosystem, investing in some of the most disruptive early-stage Climate Tech companies alongside prominent VC funds such as Pale Blue Dot, HighTech Gruenderfonds, and SOSV. Today, we announce the rebranding of Rainmaking Impact to Raspberry, symbolising our shift to a more inclusive network with a broader investment thesis, starting with AI. We have just completed our first investment in a UK-based AI startup developing truly disruptive technology. Our aim is to invest in 10 more AI companies during 2024, along with 10 Climate Tech companies. We extend our gratitude to our incredible investor network, portfolio founders, and supporters for a stellar year, and we wish you an amazing 2024.

🤩 It was INCREDIBLE to attend Slush2023 and represent Raspberry Ventures! 3 amazing days in the cold Helsinki, meeting old and new friends VCs, Angels and Founders, in a great venue. 🚀 We also had the chance to host our own SOLD-OUT event during Slush; adding a personal touch to our connections and taking the chance to announce internationally our rebranding from Rainmaking Impact to Raspberry Ventures. 🙏 Thanks once again to the organisers and to everyone who contributed to make this experience unique. More than happy to keep and expand what started there!

💥 💥 We are extremely excited to participate in the CHF 1.5 million oversubscribed seed round of viboo, alongside prominent European VCs HTGF | High-Tech Gründerfonds and Swisscom Ventures. Viboo has developed a Predictive Control as a Service platform (PCaaS), empowering smart thermostats of partnering manufacturers to fully realize their potential. This new investment will be used to scale up the commercialization of Viboo's technology in time for the upcoming heating season, with a focus on light commercial buildings, especially those located in cities and municipalities. Viboo has already collaborated with industry-leading partners such as Danfoss, ABB, Netatmo, and Bouygues to thoroughly validate its solution. During the last heating period, impressive energy savings of 20-40% were achieved. We are happy to be a part of your journey!
