– Voyager Ventures announced the close of its $275 million Fund II, focused on early-stage investments in energy, industrials, and climate technology across North America and Europe
– The firm describes the fund’s mission as backing technologies “foundational to future abundance”
– Voyager Ventures was founded in 2021 by Sierra Peterson and Sarah Sclarsic
– Its initial funds focused on early-stage climate tech supporting global decarbonization across sectors such as mobility, energy, materials, food, the built environment, analytics, industrial systems, and carbon removal
– Fund II targets technologies modernizing the base layer of the economy, including energy production and distribution, advanced manufacturing, critical materials, physical AI, and compute
– The firm highlights three forces reshaping economics and quality of life: distributed renewable energy and storage, cheaper and more powerful computation, and AI-enabled optimization of machines and systems at scale
– Sarah Sclarsic said the firm is seeing growing market validation and scale for technologies driving durable economic growth, including energy, critical materials, advanced manufacturing, and AI for physical systems
– Key investment sectors include Energy and Efficiency, Materials Production, Software and AI, Mobility, Built Environment, and Carbon Management
– Targeted technologies include efficient energy generation, storage, and usage, as well as faster and more precise production of core materials
– The fund will also invest in software and AI that improve efficiency, uptime, and operational precision across energy, logistics, and manufacturing
– Additional focus areas include high-performance mobility, optimization of long-lived assets and infrastructure, and carbon capture, reuse, and removal
– Sierra Peterson said the firm is backing technologies that deliver systemic stability and outperform legacy systems built on finite fuels and fragile processes
