​Impact/100 — 2022
We believe that startups leveraging scalable technology are the key to solving some of the world’s most pressing problems.
That’s why we’ve created the Impact100 - an annual list of the world’s most promising impact startups.
You could say a lot about them, but it's basically this: 100 ideas that can change 1 000 000 000 lives. The companies on the list have all been nominated by Norrsken or our nomination committee.
The SOSV Climate Tech 100
SOSV’s core mission is human and planetary health, and the Climate Tech 100 springs from that commitment. The list helped demonstrate why Pitchbook has ranked SOSV the #1 climate tech investor since 2018.
The climate tech 100 startups cover every category in climate, from energy and transport to manufacturing and circular economy, especially in the food and agriculture categories.
