Enabling commerce to better fit a

truly digitized, on-demand world

NEXT GENERATION ECOMMERCE

Collectively, we need to make extreme cuts in emissions globally, remove CO2 polluting our atmosphere and limit the effects of climate change that we are already experiencing. 

The table is set for innovation on a scale and with a momentum we have never seen before. It is probably the single biggest business opportunity in history.

Optimists at the core, we are certain that humanity will succeed with reaching net-zero. But time is limited. We need to see innovation across all areas with high emissions levels, from energy production to agriculture and from manufacturing to transportation.

A massive effort is required. New energy sources, like fusion technology, must be developed. Renewables like wind and solar will become a big part of the energy mix, but their irregular supply will lead to tremendous pressure on the existing grid, causing a need for extreme load balancing as well as energy storage. Thus, decentralized energy ecosystems will become more common. The whole value chain of energy - from how we generate and transmit to how we consume, store and manage our energy usage - will change. 

Our core competence at Skyfall Ventures is software-enabled business models. We believe software startups will be instrumental in making the transition to net-zero succeed, but also at the core of a future green ecosystem. 

We are excited about software in a variety of domains. Data, analytics and infrastructure services will be the foundation that gives life to other digital products and services. We think we will see a lot of exciting startups working with optimizing the infrastructure for volatile energy sources like solar and wind. We are excited about climate decision support and collaboration services for both consumers and businesses. We think some really cool decentralized energy platforms will emerge. And we think we'll also see some great startups tackling and reducing the most devastating impacts of the climate crisis. 

The opportunities for building great companies in this area are endless. That's why we are so excited about software within the climate domain.

Not only is healing the planet a top priority for all of us as humans. It is also great business.

Founder stories

Henrik Langeland | Founder Enode

"A renewable energy system is dependent on flexible demand that can adapt to the intermittent supply from wind and solar"

In short, we need to collectively make extreme cuts in emissions globally, in addition to reducing the amount of CO2 already polluting our atmosphere.
