2150

2150 is a London-headquartered venture capital firm founded in 2019 that backs founders building transformational technologies across energy, industry, materials and the built environment. It was co-founded by Christian Hernandez, Jacob Bro, Christian Joelck and Mikkel Bulow-Lehnsby, and it operates within the Urban Partners platform, which gives it unusual access to real-estate and infrastructure owners as first customers for portfolio technology. Following its second fund, the firm reports roughly 500 million euros under management. The thesis is decarbonization of the physical world rather than climate software: urban systems, heavy industry and construction, where emissions are concentrated and where deployment depends on procurement by large asset owners. The team invests from early stage into growth, leans on its operational backgrounds, and looks for deep technical conviction paired with measurable real-world outcomes alongside financial return. Portfolio companies illustrate the mandate. 1KOMMA5 is building Europe's largest fleet of decentralized residential energy assets across rooftop solar, battery storage, EV charging and heat pumps. LuxWall produces vacuum-insulated glass that cuts building heating and cooling costs. Blue Frontier's smart HVAC system uses integrated energy storage to reduce cooling energy use and improve indoor air quality. Ember electrifies intercity buses to shift travel away from single-occupancy cars. Metycle runs a business-to-business marketplace for scrap and recycled metals, Molg builds robotic microfactories that autonomously disassemble complex electronics, and Gigaton applies AI to decarbonize energy-intensive plants, starting with cement. Founders should expect industrial diligence and help with the commercial problem these companies actually face, which is landing pilots and then repeatable contracts with building owners, utilities and industrial operators. The firm is most relevant to hardware and deployment-heavy businesses rather than to pure software teams.
