What we do

At Dipalo Ventures, we support hard tech innovators and scale life-changing technologies for a green energy future.

We provide product expertise and deep engineering knowledge to help our founders bring breakthrough scientific and engineering innovations to market.

This is the last decade in which our actions can alter the decline in planetary health caused by climate change. Venture Capital provides an important starting point for deep technical innovations that offer humanity a hopeful glimpse at a world that has mitigated and adapted to this ongoing man-made disaster.

As founders across the globe set out to bring these innovations from the research lab and prototype to market commercialization, it’s important to have investors who understand their technology and can provide more than financial investment at Dipalo Ventures. We help our founders bridge this divide. Join us.

There’s a tremendous amount of craftsmanship in between a great idea and a great product.
