YX Capital aims to be part of the solution to the climate change challenges we face. Massive innovation is required in the areas of energy, transportation, food and manufacturing. Many breakthrough solutions are on the horizon and we are proud to be helping to commercialize and scale a few of them.
Our focus
From energy production and storage to material science and carbon capture, we look broadly for disruptive ideas that have high potential to positively impact climate change. YX Capital also selectively invests outside this core area, supporting entrepreneurs disrupting areas such as natural products, health care, robotics, consumer privacy and autonomous driving.
YX Capital has invested in over 100 companies and is a family office.
